Job applications

What helped me a lot was breaking things into small chunks—like just doing the resume writing part one day, then the form filling the next. I also found it easier to copy things over from a master document instead of retyping everything each time. And I always keep a version of my resume updated so I don’t have to start from scratch.

C.V looks completely alien to me, like its someone else's

It is strange to see your experience and qualifications distilled into such a cold and clinical format, but it is what the industry wants to see.

When applying for jobs it helps to know that the hiring manager will receive (probably) many hundreds of applicants so your CV needs to confirm that you have the basic experience and qualifications they are asking for. Without this your CV will hit the bin in the first 20 seconds.

I would recommend getting help in crafting your CV and not to be afraid to tweak it for every job application so your most relevant skills / experience are right there on the summary section.

Also I'm struggling to find where to put my AUDHD, CPTSD, social anxiety that limits me from getting public transport (live in middle of nowhere) sensory overload etc even with earplugs/headphones 

I agree with profdanger that it is not helpful to make this obvious as it may just be a red flag to get your CV binned even faster. The law says it should not influence decision making but it is near impossible to prove that this was the reason for you not making the shortlist for interview, so experience suggests only disclosing it after you charmed them in the interview with your skills and personality.

In the meantime I would suggest developing your own experience and skills in your own time. What companies / employers are near you (to avoid needing to use transport)? Drop them a written letter saying you are looking for work experience and would love to hear if they have any positions suitable for you.

Harvest season is not that far away so you could work on a farm harvesting fruit and/or veg - maybe get trained on using a tractor, herding cows or something else that may seem outside your comfort zone.

What are your special interests? Some of these can lead to you being more able to put up with sensory loads if the work appeals to you and teaches you valuable life skills in the worlplace.

The key thing is to be seen as a go-getter rather than someone who sits at home and waits for things to come to you. That is much more what an employer wants to see and the experience you gain will give you things to talk about in interviews and may even give you some pay in the meantime (unpaid work is often the easiest way to start and once you prove you can stand it and be productive then there is more chance you will be paid.

The working world is a pain in the bottom sometimes but I find knowing what to expect and how to get there helps manage expectations and as you climb that ladder then seeing where you have come from gives confidence to keep going.

I suggest reading the advice here, which explains some of the things to consider when deciding whether and when to advise a potential or current employer of your disabilities and your needs in respect of reasonable adjustments:

NAS - Deciding whether to tell employers you are autistic

A CV is often used to accompany a job application. As the NAS notes in respect of the application form stage of applying for jobs:

“many autistic people choose not to disclose at this point for fear it may negatively affect the likelihood of them getting an interview or job trial and because they see few potential benefits.”

My personal opinion is to not disclose your diagnoses / accommodation needs on your CV. If you want to share that information, I would wait for the interview. Your application should highlight what you can do well instead of what you need in order to do well.

Besides, while it may be illegal to discriminate job applicants based on their disabilities, there’s still a likelihood that companies will ignore applications that display disabilities and needs upfront.

There's generally a standard format to most CVs: so you should be able to find a template to download. 

Most of the job sites and some employers will take your CV and scrape the data  - so they have it in a standard format regardless of your formatting  - so long as your CV is structured in a particular way: the most common are Skills Based CV and Chronological CV. 

This CV guide on Indeed explains more. 

You can create multiple CVs so play around with the types - although my own experience is that most employers and job boards seemed to favour chronological CVs

I'm not aware of any section to put your conditions: I don't think you need to disclose any of that info for your CV.  Remember these things are fairly public if you're uploading to job boards

Likewise for data protection just put your name and email/phone on the CV, not your address or DOB

Also ask them (Job Centre) for help with writing - and see if they can help or sign-post you to local job support club  where there may be someone more useful
