Hi 17WatsonJ

As a former manager I would point out that the key is the details, I noticed that you’ve made some spelling mistakes, when applying for jobs these become critical as it shows attention to detail and accuracy. It may also be a sign of other health conditions such as dyslexia. My advise is simple, stick to what you enjoy, look at what you like in everyday life, if you find a job in something you enjoy you can show passion and that’s what employers are looking for. Try temp working to gain experience, and build from there. Set yourself goals. You’ll get knocks along the road but we all do, keep your head up, you don’t get anything for free and you need to work at everything, best of luck.

Hi I don’t know what country you live in. Here in Scotland our local council offer several apprenticeship’s each year. They are in various departments IT, Accounts, Procurement etc. The age range is 16 to 24 years old. It may be worth watching your local council vacancy site or calling them to enquire if this is something that they offer and if it is how they advertise it. Here it is My Job Scotland and all local Council, Government,Fire and some Other sectors place vacancies on it.

The N.H.S. have I.T. departments. I don't know how they recruit but it would be worth looking into. Get someone to check your C.V. for spelling before you send it. Don't rely on spellchecker because you'll end up with lots of American spellings! I don't know anything about the Disability laws but I do know you can't discriminate on the basis of disability so perhaps Citizens Advice may be able to help or your M.P. M.Ps hold a weekly surgery which you can just go to without an appointment. You'll be able to find the place and time in your local newspaper or library if you still have them. You can read the paper online. Good Luck.

Not what you're looking for?
