finding work

Char1992

Hi all,

I would like to know (apart from qualifications) how people with Aspergers' can increase their chances of finding work.

I would also like to ask others if they mention that they have Aspergers' before or during an interview, or do most people not disclose this to an employer?

  • Good point there Pandoren, if I could take a liberty and add to it.

    Local authorities do take people on for short term projects. Getting seen to be good can often lead to better positions. Civil Service likewise - voluntary posts can get you in. Insecure granted, maybe not well paid, but way of getting some job cred.

    Universities do take on short term staff as research assistants, or as library or student services staff.

    Likewise health service.  Short term opportune jobs are sometimes a good way in. They may lead to you having an option before the post goes to external candidates.
