How I look for a job

So I see a job advert, let’s call it job A, I quite like it and apply for it. Then I see job B adverised, it still sounds ok but I would prefer job A. I feel like I should not apply for job B till after I find out I wasn’t successful with A. It seems to me like by applying for more than one job I create problems for recruiters.

Obviously I would lie if I said that I only apply for one job, I apply for more but I find the process very stressful.

Seriously, who said that autistics don’t see things from other people perspective? This is literally all I am focused on, constantly worrying about how all those companies where I applied for a job are going to cope.

I’m supposed to spend 35h a week on work related activities and it really seems like there’s not enough jobs to keep applying, unless of course recruiters start contacting me and asking to fill in detailed application forms – that can take a while, and then prepsring for interviews and commuting also takes time.

Otherwise I’m absolutely petrified that I’ll find no job whatsoever to the end of my life.

  2. I completely understand where you are coming from. I had an interview today, even though I have a new job to go to, as the interview lady sought me out after reading my profile on LinkedIn. I felt that I had to do my very best, or what’s the point. It’s really wasting her time, but there you go. Now I am terrified that I will get offered the job. The 35 hours a week of hunting thing, is hard. I have taken to filling in forms slowly.
