do you mean temp agencies. I need permanent work. a routine. not a one day thing that migth not even make enough to pay for gas. suppose if I needed the monye I tried tempt work, though not sure how i'd get there. temp work is for super desperate people. I am in no risk of losing my home or food. so the goal is to find permanent long lasting work for me.

i took a few years off after high school, then went to college then cashier and now here I am. I was never allowed to work while in highschool. I got fired from the dorm cleaning crew in 2010, didn' get another job til 2012. firings aren't a blessing in disguise o.O


Temp work is for super desperate people? The way you present yourself on these forums is, in fact, super desperate. If you want to build a resume, then do so with whatever it takes. Try looking in other avenues for jobs such as city governments, (community) colleges, etc. ... My goal is to be employed full time as a library assistant by around this time next year - they don't make bad money. (In my area, it can be anywhere from 20k to 28k USD.)

You'd be surprised about what you can do and make even with just a high school diploma/GED and a little experience.

As for Ban-Dodger talking about getting lost, my uncle uses an iPad to get around. I plan on buying a GPS when I get a vehicle. So don't get too worried about that.

There's no reason you cannot work an additional temp-job for weeks where it does not conflict with your cashier-schedule, and no it's not for the desperate, for I had been able to go whole entire years before doing just temp-assignments and still managed to have 40+ hours worth of work every single week consistently, plus it gave me freedom to take certain days or weeks off if I felt like it to free up my time for maybe attending some seminar (although I am wiser now to realise that most seminars are really just sales-pitches in disguise that come in the form of classrooms/presentations), and don't forget that this is WORK-EXPERIENCE that you're getting, frequently in MULTIPLE DIFFERENT INDUSTRIES, and work-experience alone has often been enough to get me hired (actually it was probably more due to the fact that employers saw on my applications that I also spoke at least three other languages and so they must have auto-assumed that I must be smart or something & wanted to hire the smart guy). The more work-experience you have the more you are desired by competent-employers.

Employment-Agencies. Try using them... register with them, call them up at least once a week, ask them if they have any available assignments for you for said particular week outside of your Cashier-Schedule. The more work-experience you have the more you are desired by competent-employers.

honestly the idea of spending 50 years working at a cashier and being hated for it and being alone is very depressing and I see no point in doing that.

I am not going to do your work for you though, but I can at least point you to certain potentials & possibilities, and what are you doing being age 27 with only one year of work-experience!? Anyway, just get more experience, and know that other Aspies, such as myself, have ended up finding higher-paying jobs for each previous job I got fired from, Blessings in Disguise, man.


i'm involoved with an employment agency through voc rehab. they call them job devolupers.

Now, I realise that yes, Aspies have terrible sense of direction, and will probably take months worth of getting lost for several hours at a time before even being able to find their way back to their own home (even I did this several times & wasted a bunch of gas as a result), but near-ALL cities run on a kind of a grid-system, and if you can just innately learn or memorise that system, you eventually « light-bulb » and won't get lost nearly as frequently.

That Grid-System runs something like this...

Avenues typically run North & South
Roads/Streets typically run East & West

The bigger the number of the Avenue/Street, the further away it is from the Centre of said City, and the smaller the number of the Street/Avenue, the closer it is to the Centre of the City, and Main-Street can be regarded as having a Number of 0 (runs straight through the Centre/Middle of a City Lay-Out).

The rest you can typically figure out with some math as for what direction you're traveling even without a compass and even if the sun is not visible. If you're on an Avenue, and that Avenue is labeled as a South-Avenue, and if the numbers of the Cross-Streets are getting smaller, that means you're South of City-Centre, heading North towards Main-Street. The Streets will also indicate whether you are West or East of the Centre-Line of the City by an indication of E or SE or W or SW (e.g.: 117th Avenue S & 10th Street SE indicates that you are approximately 117 blocks SOUTH of City-Centre and about 10 blocks over to the East of said Centre).

I can see that you're quite a piece of work to get through but I'll slap enough experience into you on these boards yet & one day things will just « suddenly click together » for you since that's the typical learning-curve of we typical Aspies (i.e.: we tend to be absolutely clueless until at just the point where everybody else has already given up & we may also find ourselves giving up but then things make sense at the end such to the point where our learning & understanding of a particular issue or subject-matter suddenly shoots up exponentially to the point where even an Aspie like me is running around NT's in circles in being able to find my way around in unfamiliar-territory where-as an NT still needs to ask for directions to find a new address).



other then 1. they wont' hire me. 2. I would lose my ssi and everything that goes with it. I'm not doing that for a temp job will only last a while. it has to be permanent work. 3. theres not a whole lot of work in general. the major temp work is during the summer at the college cleaning dorms and thats where I got fired from . I can't go back to that agency. the other one is manual labor whcih I suck at. you have to show up there every day at 6 am. every day so you work a job and next day you have to show up and beat all the others again to work the same job. sounds like the Mexican hopping into the back of a truck at home depot joke to me but thats how it works. my ex friend tried to do it for a while. maybe if I lived in a big city like portanld or la or new york city. but not a lot of work here. anwyays it owuld go back to 2. I have to be careful what work I do and how much and if i do too much it has to be permanent guaranteed work.

avenues , roads, streets are all the same here. we go by numbers and letters. and in the next city they use president names. thats how small our cities are. and one is the 3/4th largest in our state. for example theres 65 street then 6th ave, and 65th place all in lined up then it goes to 66th street.
one town I visited used wood names for streets.

you from new york?

I tend to just use google maps to navigate when i don't know where the place is. atleat in next city. my city is smaller and more logically laid out. we don't have a s**t ton of one ways makings giant maze like the city next to use does.

I never said I want to build a resume. I said I want permanent cashier work. well ideally I'd got permanent security work since it pays more but its super popular field that a lot of recently ex military people are trying to get into.
I'm not desperate or I'd date a the women who I don't find attractive and have 0 compatibility with. but I'm not so I kindly rejected them. better for both of us. so I hate being called desperate simple because I want love.

o.o I currently work at the community college.
I have a college degree, high school diploma and a year cashier experience. you'd be suppressed how hard it is to find work with debt and social disorder that blows your interviews, tied in with a computer that decided you're too perfect. sorry I don't think stealing from the companies is ok ever. but I suppose most people do so it flags me as a liar. really hate the computer questionnaire. they take like hour plus each then it auto rejects you. use to be you'd just apply interview and the human would decide if you were good enough for the job. I've only had 2 interviews in the last 3 months. though that was just only looking for security work. as I wanted to try to get a better paying job to please the superficial women. probably just going to have to settle for cashier work and deal with the fact I'll never bee good enough for women. unless some abusive woman decides I'm good enough to verbally and physicall abuse.

wierd though how these women work the same type of job. but they want a guy who makes middle class money and hes suppose to find them good enough. o.O

not what this threads aobut though.
