How do you people find a new job?
My dad used to say, "If you spend as much time looking for a job as you will when you have a job you'll quickly find a job" Indicating that nobody spends 8 hours a day looking, and if they did in any economy they'd discover something.
If you've got 6 hours a day...make it productive. Seems like you could have a second job whilst you are working on your first.
For me when I was a carpenter it was stopping on jobsites, calling contractors. For me now if I were to look it would be a combination of sending out resumes and following up with phone calls; making cold calls to ascertain if they are hiring and following up with resumes; networking with other contractors to see what they know is going on where.
Alex,
I live in subsidized housing on disability. I'm very good at managing my finances -- yes, I'm Jewish -- so I live comfortably enough from month to month.
The life coach I've been seeing since around when I was diagnosed with Asperger's. Most of what she helps me with is common sense, which is not to say I know everything she tells me ahead of time. She's a friend of the family so she helps me pro bono. Mostly she helps me to find ways to fit into neurotypical society without feeling like I have to compromise who I am. Lately I've started putting some focus into breaking down non-verbal communication so that it's more understandable. Meditation seems to help me with that because it helps me to stay aware in the moment. Once I notice a gesture or posture or facial expression that I don't understand I can analyze it based on the situation and learn what's being communicated.

I could have a second job, if I could leave the small dull office... lol. But as I am here stuck in the office I cannot really take on another job.
See my issue is I live out in zee sticks...
I haven't the b****cks to make my own company lol.
Generally I rent a flat across from the bank and sit there for several weeks just watching. Usually the big "deliveries" are made on a Thursday or Friday if thats any use?
