Finding a new job - interview!

Hello,

I have been having a really tough time in my job recently, I requested reasonable adjustments due to feeling burnt out and exhausted much of the time but these were denied and I have ultimately come to the decision that I need a new job asap.

I have an online interview later today and I'm so nervous, I hate online video chats, I find them really awkward and feel that I don't come across well. Whilst the job is not something I would be excited to do, it is a fully remote job and I wouldn't really have to deal with people and I feel like that is really what I need going forward.

This is also my first interview since being diagnosed as autistic and I am trying to gain more of an understanding of how it affects my work life.

Any well wishes would be appreciated!

I hope it went ok.

Hopefully after the scary first few minutes you were able to talk and say what you needed to.

Remote working can be a bit isolating and make it harder to learn new items. You need to be be more proactive in asking for help.

But you also have more freedom. You need to pace yourself and it can be harder to switch off, so don't overwork.

You need to have somewhere suitable to work too.

Every coffee break you can go on the garden, you can pop out at lunch.

There are ups and downs.

I hope you find something that suits you.
