A job

[bails0bub]

it can be. I've learned a lot of stuff about things i would never have known even existed. granted most of it is useless information in the real world.

 

[onlything]

well...... darn. thats very bad.

if you don't immediately need a new job for money, then you can take a break, for a short time, and take your time applying for new jobs, and relaxing around.

Thanks Matt but I need money. With my last payment I may survive till December at most. Probably for the next month or so.

then i suggest you find a job. just about any job will do, if you are not willing to wait for a good job that you like.

Well, at the time I'm in the proccess of getting an education for my 'dream job'. I need a job to sustain myself during a few more years.

If you're in Toronto I can help, nothing glamorous but great for students as it's flexible. Otherwise, like everyone else said, don't beat yourself up, NT people would dissolve into puddles of despair if they had to spend a day in our shoes.

Thanks, @isthisreallife . I don't live in Toronto but the offer is appreciated.

Are you looking at a specific or specialised job? Or something really flexible to fit around your studies?

Do you want something easy so you can coast along and keep your main focus on academia?

Have you any ideas which companies offer flexibility? A choice with availability?
Are there any jobs you would refuse point blank to do?
(Keeping in mind that it isn't forever, it's paying the bills til you gain your qualifications?)

Losing a job is so hard. sorry.
This isn't so helpful at the moment, but i use autocad for my job. It is technical, somewhat creative, and i'm allowed to work mostly independently in my own cube. It might be worth looking into. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

good luck

Clear your mind. Take a bit to regroup. Dwell on this loss as little as you are capable of. And move forward when you are ready. My biggest advice would be just don’t neglect self care in this time. It will help your spirits and help you focus. Or at least it does me. I have faith in you that you will find something better than you have in the past.

Oh, I love Autocad. I mostly used it for my course, though. My jobs tend to be more physical due to lack of qualifications.

As for now, I need something part-time that will sustain me in a very expensive city while I finish my education. Perfectly I would be able to choose a few days in a week and stick with them as long as needed but it doesn't work like this. The only contracts that I seem to be able to get are 0 hrs contracts and later I'm left for two weeks in silence without any shifts before being told that there's not going to come anything for me.

Maybe I just can't get any kind of job well enough. Something quiet and with moderate pressure would be brilliant but I can cope suprisingly well in busier environments if not overhelmed - overhelmed being the key. At least I have tendency to shut down, not get into 'tantrums'. Miscommunication, selective mutism and blurting out inappropriate things even if I keep tabs on myself are my biggest problems. Also, energy levels that tend to be low due to depression.

I want to focus on my studies but most of the time my jobs completely take over and I can't keep up with everything that's going on.

I've applied to some places in the industry I have experience in but I wish I could just throw it away and take something where you need less social communication. Got an interview tomorrow but I tend to trash them badly.

I think that any job that doesn't cross my ethical boundaries would be suitable at the time.

Sorry for the long message. I'm still trying to sort everything out in my mind. Bad time coping with changes that weren't decided by myself.

Did you try appen.com?

I have a tencency to get panicked about money whenever I lose a job and stop eating at all. Trying to work on it. I had to change jobs due to different circumstances four times throughout the year. My roommate started calling me anorexic due to that. I'm not. Just - stressed

 

[onlything]

No but looks useful. I'll check it.

 

[paloftoon]

If anyone is in or near the Philly area, especially if you have at least a Bachelors degree, I can refer you to a few programs for full time jobs (w/ benefits) if you want to meet me in a public place during the day. You must also be able to provide documentation for an official diagnosis.

So, I have lost a job again.

I don't have strength to look for another one.

Any advice?

I may be chicken **** here. But if it's a bad hit, lost your mojo, belief, sanity etc as well as the job. The go on welfare if you can. I don't know ur position, (kids, mortgage etc) but if you you can, get on the sick. Heal, relax, get some basic home routine going. But mainly rest. Escape. I like music .. if you like drawing, focus on that. I've been unemployed for over a year.

But guess at polar ends at moment. As I went to a job interview today. And do well. (First time ever)

But I couldn't have done it without a break. Good luck, hope you figure it out. Peace out

Thanks, @spaceman. I would gladly do it - feeling to old for all of this honestly. But I'm in the middle of my course that I worked too much for, as well as with lots of debt due to unpredicted circumstances. One day, though, I'll buy a small place for myself somewhere where there aren't people and live the rest of my days in there with a pet or two. For now it's only wishing.

 

[spaceman]

Ah, great respect to you for plugging through. I don't know if it will help. But I had a job interview and declared ASD.

During the interview I had that feeling I haven't had for years and years. Positive, confident, the OLD OLD me. The one I thought was long gone.

If you dont tell your bosses your aspie/ASD your all alone. I shared it and my 3 interviewers were putty in my hands. Not had that confidence and manipulation skills for a long time.

Hope the house and cats are coming to you soon .. hold it together, good luck

Probably still decades from now but still, one day. Either I'll push through or throw away everything.

The positive, confident old you, huh? I know what you mean. I got this feeling back at times this year during my tutorials(for now I'm researching possibility of the technological hybrids between different crop-growing systems and it's proceeding nicely, although I'd rather try it out on my own before presenting to my tutors).

I hope you'll get that job, all the good luck for you.

Thank you. Fingers crossed. If I don't get it, no drama. It's either fixed up to begin with, there's a criteria they're looking for, or there were more suitable candidates on the day. Either way, it won't be because I totally threw it away like any other time.

Push through or throw away? Thats Tough going. You must be drained. I hope you pull through fine. Up and at em, fight another day..
