Help for 17 year old son finding a weekend job

NAS81729

My son is having difficulty getting interviews for just a small part time job whilst he is in sixth form. We even think he is being discriminated against as he has autism. Any tips and advice would Pray great - he wants to be open and honest about his autism but is starting to doubt whether he should mention it and his confidence is at an all time low. Can anyone offer advice? Thank you Pray

  • part time jobs are pretty hard to come by... most jobs are at least 40 hours a week or even more. very hard to find a job with less hours.

    and also, bear in mind it takes a person a good year and thousands of applications to thousands of jobs to actually get a job... there are few jobs out there, but millions of workers. so much so that when you get a job you can be fired instantly and replace right away. its a employers market that is bad for the employee because there are few jobs and millions of job seekers.... i dunno, perhaps mass migrant workers was a bad idea for the job market?

    literally there are neurotypical people who apply for 100 jobs a day, and have been unemployed for 5 years and cant get a job..  its a hard market especially when as i said all the world is seemingly entitled to come here and take those jobs and get preference above our workers due to working for less and working longer hours and off books.
