Job hunting is impossible!

NAS89250

Does anyone else struggle finding a job?? Whenever I look up autistic friendly jobs, Web developer or computer engineer, or tech support stuff comes up. It feels really stereotypical. Like, not all of us are mathematical geniuses, or know how to work a damn computer. 

I need a job, hell, I'm even struggling to get a job as a cleaner. 

Can someone help me find one? All I have is an entry level 3 English and entry level 2 maths under my belt. I don't drive. I struggle with communication.

  • the issue is that job hunting is a lottery, you have to understand there will be 1000 applicants for every job.... i picked that figure because where i work they advertised a job and it literally had 1000 applicants for that basic lowest level minimum wage hard graft job..... and thing is, its because everyone all over the world are applying for jobs here from abroad. you know what they did? instead of letting a local that needs the job get it, they awarded the job to a indian who applied from india and wasnt even in this country and had to wait for him to then come over... not fair isnt it? harms local peoples chances of jobs when people from all over the world all dog pile on our jobs from a distance. we need those jobs...
