It sucks to be inexperienced. You're stuck in a Catch-22. In order to gain experience, you have to get your foot in the door. But the only way, most of the time, to get your foot in the door is to have experience. I experienced that when I first started working. I had this as well when I was 18. I ...

I do feel very bitter and angry about it at times since I do feel like I have skills and abilities that would be valuable to an employer and there's only so much rejection you can take before it starts feeling personal and like nobody is willing to take a chance on you. I just try to find a healthy...

I found out I am too inexperienced to get: 1) Unpaid internships in IT and digital marketing (my double b...

So this is my third post. I'm not sure how to come off NOT being rude to this person I know with AS. I just can't stand it when she talks about herself ALL THE TIME. She never talks about anything else. All of her topics are surrounded by what she likes, what she does, what she doesn't like, what sh...

So I learned about Asperger Syndrome in 2006 from where I used to work. I read up on it for several years, but I didn't know what it would be like to have a friend with AS. I soon found out in 2012.
