I just got fired and need a new job ASAP.

I studied library and information science at college. I live in Denmark, so I'm not sure this is the right place to ask. There is this job that looks kind of geeky. Perhaps even autism friendly. I'm not really sure whether I should apply for it or not. I usually apply for jobs at libraries or archives. I barely know how to do some of the tasks.

Here'a s link to the job ad (it's in English): https://www.stepstone.dk/jobannonce/234 ... jobannonce

You sort of have to pretend you're extroverted and have a "sense of humor," though.

Why not go for it?

I'm sorry you were fired from your previous job. Was the reason autism-related?

Yes, the extroverted talk-to-a-lot-of-people-ness of this job kind of scares me. But other parts of the job seems to be autism friendly: Strong attention to detail and being thorough.

I was fired for not multitasking well enough. So I guess it was autism related. I really regret studying library and information science. It only leads to the hardest jobs!
