Job Search

Dee-Dee

Hi there, I'm 26 and have never had a job in my life. I spent a lot of my teenage and early adult years in psychiatric units and now I am looking at moving on from supported living I am hoping to find a job but I have no idea where to start and what could possibly work for me. Ideally, I'd like to work from home as travelling is very stressful to me (rarely successful without a panic attack) and I wouldn't want something like retail where I'd have to deal with customers. I have three A A-Levels but not much else to put on a CV. 

Does anyone have any suggestions as to where I could look for work? What jobs have you found best worked for you?

Thank you!

  • Hello from America, Dee-Dee!

    Is there anyone that can help you with the job search? Like a friend or family member? I ask because I’m an employment specialist and a big part of my job is helping people with disabilities in my area find jobs. Many of my clients would be totally unable to seek out jobs, let alone contact potential employers, without help. Some people who are ND just need a little more support finding a job, and that’s okay. If you can find someone who is willing to go with you to interviews, cold call local businesses to see if they are hiring, and etc., that could be a big improvement to your job search.
