| So my best friend we typically talk often. If not on phone then usually a couple messages on Facebook. Lately she has been not reading or ignoring or forgetting my messages. She was busy before the new year and at times she turned off her phone to not be bothered by her job on her days off. My think... |

| Articles like this annoy me. I don't suffer from aspergers I suffer from nt treatment. Growing up I was an extremely sociable person but after failing in time and time and being made fun of for being different I developed social anxiety. My social issues come from nts expectations not just because I... |

| I've decided to take a step back from all this as it's stressing me out. I do need a job, but for now (since i'm with parents) it's mostly because I want to be more independent. I've reevaluated everything and decided a week ago that I needed a special interest I am obsessed about. Without one I fee... |

| I know but I need some sort of job. I thought about taking up programming, something more simple PHP perhaps and try to freelance, or take up after effects or photoshop and freelance. I hope you find the right job soon. I know when you need one, it's awful to have to turn something down or miss an ... |

| I have another interview for a similar place now... I'm not sure if it's group yet but it may very well be. You need to be in a positive frame of mind, so just assume that it's not a group interview and go out and do your best. Act confidently and concentrate on the person asking the questions. In ... |

Not that I know of. I don't have many money making skills besides writing and making music. |

| Where are you located? I'm thinking: maybe you could be a legal or technical typist. In some of these sorts of places, speed is at a premium. If you type 136 wpm, they'd love you. I can only type 136 in quick burst that last about 3-5 minutes. I begin slowing down to 95-110 and that I can sustain f... |

| If you're able to type, you could try data entry. This is what I do. I'm an excellent typist. Up to 136 wpm with 98% accuracy, I have applied for data entry jobs multiple times but I never get call backs ;\ The other problem is that I would need a flexible job and most of the data entry positions I... |

I don't have an education nor do I have any real skills presently. I am enrolled in school to become a nurse, but for now I need a job because I need money. Outsi... |

| In my very first interview when I was asked if I had any questions I also said no. I looked around online and I learned that you're suppose to ask them about their job and how they like it and how they got started and what not. They say people like to talk about themselves and you're suppose to give... |

| I too have had the horrible experience of a group interview. I decided after that that I didn't want to work for any company that thought group interviews were a good way to hire people. If I get called to do another group interview I probably will not take part in it. It's obviously not a type of ... |

| They wanted an outgoing, stubborn, loud person who is not afraid of talking in front of strangers and is able to fight for their right of voice for a reason - it was a job like that. It was a work in sales. The worker will have to talk to customers all the time and has to be effective. Can you imag... |

| I don't envy you. I hate salespeople-type jobs. Did you get the job? Or get another interview? Eliminated after first round. I went onto glassdoor to read about their interview process. The thing is at the end they said we have all your numbers we'll call you. Why? What is the point of saying this ... |
