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.

    that's why brexit happened I think

    we need to be patient and see what happens

    btw I'm one of those workers, and I've never willingly agreed  to work 40h+ per week but they push it anyway, and  they don't give pay rises and the prices keep going up, so yeah it suck,

    but I didn't come here to work like crazy and go back, I came here to live, like english do l

    but there isn't many immigrants like me, most of them thinks about going back

    better here than in Poland, where disabled gets only 50% pay for doing the same job

    That might be true for those from western part of Poland, I'm from south-east, the poorest part

    i heard people in poland just go to germany to get benefits then move back to poland as once registered they can continue to get the german benefits from poland due to the EU system lol

    i tried to look for part time work at first as i thought full time wouldnt suit me due to how much time it takes out of life. but its impossible to get part time. its just not a thing that exists now, its extinct, like the dinosaur. plus it wouldnt pay the bills anyway if it did exist, the full time work barely is enough for people to scrape by their energy bill these days. infact if i took a taxi to work and back every month, the taxi would take my entire wage for the duration of the month. rent takes more now than what minimum wage brings in, the rent at the villiage i work at is 1200 per month now. impossible for any normal person to even get a rental home now.
