Looking for Volunteer work or a Job

[channing28105]

I am a female that has Autism the Aspergers kind. I am not feeling good My Job changed my status to PRN As Needed status. Because of this I am in need of a new Job and because of my current job my Job coach, group home , Voc Rehab and my case manager will not help me about getting a new job. I have some questions my questions are:
1. I am in need of a new job because my job status is at PRN As Needed How can I look for a Job I do not drive or have transportation and need help with looking for a job?
2. Is there anyone that can work with me on looking for a Job
3. Is there anyone that can help me with finding some volunteer work?
4. I am suppose to be out of my group home between 9:00am-2:00pm either working or volunteering somewhere every single day is there an agency that can help me find some volunteer work
5. Is there an agency that can help me with looking for a Job because if I go to Goodwill etc... they tell me to go to Voc Rehab.

If you know the answers please message me.

channing, do you mind of some of us post advice or suggestions here in this thread? Sometimes it's better to put multiple heads together and think over a problem.

I think I remember that you live in North Carolina from when you posted here before, Channing.

Where in North Carolina do you live, if you still live there?

In Carrboro, NC I know of a place called Club Nova that helps people with mental illnesses find jobs. I wonder if they can help autistic people find jobs as well.

I wonder if there's a way to do job searches online? I know there's many websites that give access to job listings. I wonder if one of those websites might help you...

I am one of those people more comfortable job-searching on my own/online, and I would suggest picking a place/company and doing some research online, to see if it would be a good fit for you, and then maybe even applying online if possible, as to skip an initial interview if it would end up not being neccesary, in case they would turn you down based on the resume information alone. Although, some places I have personally looked prefer in-person application or at least to turn in a resume in person. But the background reasearch on what they look for in an applicant (either from reading the job application online, or from what kind of things they say in an online advertisement for "help wanted") helps to plan what kinds of things to say in person (as I get very nervous in person and it helps to have even a little bit of a prepared plan to fall back on).

These links may be of help, Channing

Both are based in North Carolina as I understand.
