Job hunting is impossible!

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.

  • It is really difficult to get a job at the moment especially when it feels like the odds are stacked against us.

    Before I was employed I was really worried about communication as well especially since I had no work experience whatsoever. I had a look for some volunteering work in order to get something under my belt. I ended up volunteering in a charity shop and still do now on the weekends. They normally always want new volunteers. The perk as well is a few of them in the UK have a few different roles you can work in, we have some people that come in and sort the clothes out upstairs and organise since they don't like to work on the counter. I opted to work on the shop floor to improve my social and communication skills and I really feel it helped me (everyone is different though and it might not be for you!) But its really handy because It can give you some experience first you can put down when you apply for things in the future and can help with skills. 

  • Absolutely, it is good to do this to have somework experience to put on your curriculum vitae.  At an interview it is good to have work or worklike activiy to talk about rather than having gaps.
