Hi,

I was diagnosed on the autism spectrum around this year. Countless past events and experiences finally made sense.

They discontinued the school careers advisor before they could provide any help and I have always struggled with what I want to do as a career.

I suppose throughout my life I have been dealing with multiple problems, such as school bullies, which has occupied the entirety of my mind and thoughts.

Factors what are important:

  • Pay (salary)
  • Location
  • Travel
  • Solitude time (leisure time)
  • Happiness

I want a job I am happy enough doing, whilst receiving a descent pay check. I have been doing UK Zero Hour contract work on minimum wage and lately there has not been enough hours and pay.

I have not found anything I am passionate about.

  • I’m retired now but the last twenty years of my working life were spent in libraries. I loved the creating of order out of chaos plus the sequencing of Dewey. I did both customer service and office jobs and really enjoyed it. I can’t generalise from my experience but the public we dealt with were 95% pleasant and nice, our service seemed to attract good people, plus many vulnerable ones which I took great care over helping, it was sufficiently rewarding financially and an enjoyable experience most of the time

    I'm happy you found employment you were content with. I printed off some CVs today. I really need to find a new job as my zero hour contract job isn't giving me suitable hours. I would much prefer salary work of a liveable amount.
