I just got a job. That said, job hunting is one of the hardest things I have ever done. Also my brother applied for one job and was hired right away. (2 years of job hunting, almost 3)
There was a program at the library that went over my resume and cover letters. My first resume was three pages long and my cover letter with two pages. Then it was one page. Also did web-seminars for job hunting, applications, the best way to get notice, and other job finding stuff. There were job fairs, but hardly anything in my field.
There were some books on how to write cover letters and resume. My favorite and the easiest for me was listing my skills.
Applications took forever too. Sometimes, I was so frustrated and I always cry when that happens. I could save applications and come back to it later.
Net working became my best friend. Tons of people helped me with the actual job searching. Since that was the hardest for me to do. The idea of sitting down for hours looking for a job was a nightmare. Actually that is how I got my job. Someone told me that they found the perfect job but it is part time but doesn’t come with benefits.
Oh, and I may have an interview for another part time job. I have to wait and see. Another one of my net work people found me that job too.
My job is a program assistant at a nature center. The best thing about this job is I am taking care of animals, helping with classes for kids, cleaning (not the best), and I am always moving around. So it is perfect for an ADDer. The thing I am worried about is the check lists for animals. I have to check off everything from cleaning to feeding the animals. Then another check list for cleaning the building.
