I didn't say she got refused the position for wearing the wrong earrings. I don't know what the Jeremy Kyle show is but I was just trying to help.

What are you trying to say?She didn't get refused the position for wearing the wrong earnings. Ive been an employer for 17 years and
I suppose you could just watch the Jeremy Kyle show and eat chocolate
Ah, that explains it allSorry replying to two separate things that somehow got fused together, oops my bad
That sucks. Sorry to hear it.
I wonder: is there any way you could volunteer to do your training for free? Work your way into a paid position?
If you can cook or make something you might could sell your wares on Facebook. It's illegal, but people still do it. Check out the group Fresno Clovis Buy and Sell:

I have done this for every job I have every been rejected for at interview stage. Mostly it's just a matter of there being other people with more experience or who where a better fit for the position, but I have almost always got at least 1 useful piece of advise from the employer. Often things that I hadn't even thought about, like my posture (I slump when I'm nervous), and on a couple of occasions some vital tips on ways to gain more experience or network within the field. Sometimes it's thing I am well aware of, such as one employer who bluntly told me that they thought I was too socially awkward for the position; I could have taken offence and claimed they were discriminating against ASD, but instead I appreciated the honesty, and took it into account when choosing jobs to apply for in future. I would 100% recommend that anyone job searching makes a habit of following up on rejections like this.I'm sorry this happened again. I used to have a friend who would phone after rejections to politely ask them if they would tell her why she wasn't picked or if there was anything they recommend she change for a future interview.
No problem. I was really confused as to what I had said wrong, thanks for explaining.Yes I know, sorry I didnt mean to,sound arrogant but I was having another chat with someone with schizoid affective disorder who was really self indulging and I posted a response here and got confused.really sorry you sound like a lovely person.sorry again
You know what, man. I feel you because that's what's happening to me. I feel like a square peg being forced into a round hole.Above.
And I didn't declare my AS and other problems either! Also, I can't help that nearly all my retail experience is in Charity shops, it's literally been the only work I've ever been able to get.
Am I unemployable? I feel I've wasted the last 20 odd years doing voluntary to get a 3 page CV of experience because I can't even get a poxy part time position selling Cookies.
Seriously WTH!
Thanks for sharing that link. I was diagnosed at 37 and I am guessing that this counts as later in life. I am definitely a member of the "lost generation."So sorry, Mr Allen; Being a member of the "lost generation," as Simon Baron-Cohen refers to us on the Spectrum who are older and had to live life without a diagnosis until later in life, I feel your pain. This was on CBS Sunday Morning today and I think it's about time we are considered viable, valuable employees due to our being on the Spectrum. Welcoming autism into the workplace
Rich - why don't you try to get a job in inventory control where you would have little contact with others. You have tons of volunteer retail experience which implies to me that you know how to take a store inventory. Grocery stores here hire part time and often disabled workers to take inventory and restock the shelves. It's worth a try.
My mum is 72 years old and has brittle bone disease but she stacks shelves for Sainsbury because her work ethic drives het to. I dont know how old you are but you sound very defeatist and unwilling to take the bull by its horns. A very nice person suggested something to you and you responded defensively almost attacking them, your back problems are not autistic and I think its about time you found a job and stopped vampyring sympathy from otherwise good willing people who are genuinely struggling with real things like children and aspergers syndrome. Sorry.Shelf stacking? With my back problems? How about no? OK I've had all the training for heavy lifting, back straight, knees bent, don't lift more than you can handle etc, but I still have back problems.
