Difficult Times (Aspergers) - Please Delete Topic

Chair

Hi,

I've been trying to get a job for 7 years now and I feel like giving up hope.  I can't even get a shelf stacking or trolley collection job at asda or tesco as there are 0 vacancies. 

I have some qualifications in computing: GNVQ intermediate and CLAIT and touchtyping skills, however applying for data entry jobs just turns a blind eye.

I just feel completely and utterly useless and what a waste of a life it's been thus far.  It's driving me insane.

I'm 24, currently receiving incapacity and disability, no contacts, friends but at least I can drive.

Perhaps I should start voluntary work and from there they might employ me if I do well?

Regards,

Chair
