Job at university

[honeybee13]

I'm sure if you're smart enough to go to university you're smart enough to google this.

[Samtheman1]

Yeah but I don't really understand what it means if I'm honest. I still don't really know how it all works

[Samtheman1]

And then there are questions if in the future I want to rent a place to live. Where will I get the references. I don't think KFC give references to landlords how how would l be able to get a place of my own with myself or someone I love

[Flesh Gordon]

Sam, this is a good link for people going to university with learning difficulties and/or severe autism/mental health problems - having read your posts you certainly fit into one of these categories so maybe contact them for advice on things like how to rent/how to cook/how to work, - all the things that the majority of 26yr olds take for granted as basic life skills of being an adult.

You can always ask KFC if they'll match the benefits McDonalds give but unless you are applying for a top management position there I'm sure you'll be wasting your breath. They have standard benefits for staff in their stores and they won't change them for you. 

The obvious response is that if you want the benefits McDonalds offer apply to McDonalds not KFC!

Um I have dyspraxia but I don't have anything severe. I was bullied at school and have had people not believing in me which is why I have not achieved as much as other people my age or younger. I only started college in 2013 when I was 20. I am trying it's just difficult. I mean I have never had a job, I cant drive, I don't go to uni yet, I cant cook well, I have only just learnt to iron, I have never had a girlfriend and Iive with my family. My stepbrother is younger, drives, been to uni  has a supermarket job and also is getting married. I want what he has

I missed interviews at McDonalds so have been blacklisted

Sam, I don't wish to sound rude but you clearly have issues greater than just "a bit of bullying and dyspraxia". May I suggest you visit your GP and request some CBT (cognitive behavioural therapy) which may help you get to the root of why you are living (by your own admission) like a 5 year old child.

It may prove the breakthrough you need. And help you understand why people seem to misjudge you, and why approaching 30 you can't cook/can't iron, never worked, struggling to understand basic human interactions?  

[Samtheman1]

I have told you why I am like the way I am. I have dyspraxia. I didn't want to do things. I had a father who never believed in me. Told me I could never achieve things. I have friends that tell me I'm stupid and tell me i am thick and will never be able to cope. I lost confidence. My grandfather had a stroke he has parkinsons. I had to look after him. I have had so many things wrong with me and have so many things wrong with me. I want to beat my stepbrother I want to be better then him. I want to be married have a car have a job and to have been to uni. I want to have a better penis and to lose weight and to have less spots over my face. 

[Flesh Gordon]

Well, as I say, all the things you mention are certainly things a good GP could help you with - the physical and the psychological.

The only useful advice I can give you is to make an appointment asap. Anything else is just pissin' in the wind - you certainly don't sound like any 26yr old who had a mildly unhappy childhood that I've ever met, to be honest. I think your problems are far, far deeper than that. Problems only a healthcare professional can help with. But feel free to rant on an anonymous internet forum if it helps in the short term.

Best wishes, 

FG.

I'm out.  

[Samtheman1]

I have tried all of that before it did not work. I'm still single, still don't have a job, still not at uni, still cant drive, still have spots, still am fat. I am still unloverable and still have a shit penis. You know what I have had it with this world. I am going to just end it all. I'm never going to be successful and jumping on the tracks will be so much easier because no one will miss me

My stepbrother had won. I have lost. I don't care I am at university i am too far gone and cant be in this world

I mean only Wednesday I was the happiest I have been because I went to a university open day on my own. I got some ok information but then back to reality I'm not there yet. What should I be proud of. My mum and stepdad have my stepsister and stepbrother to be proud of I am just a nuisance and am not needed in the planet. I serve no purpose 

[samtheman2]

Hello. I don't know why my main account is not working very well. But i just want to create a new one because I can't be part of this site for a long while. I need to sort out my mental state and be proud of what I can do with getting a job and doing university. I have contacted people and they have advised me what to do. So for now goodbye but i have to think of myself

[honeybee13]

Look after yourself, Sam.

[samtheman3]

You can still get fast-food jobs without experience, they're not expecting perfect candidates every time. Personality, just come across as someone positive who can get the work done, any culinary experience even just a quick online course it separates you from the rest, show an interest in the brand again shows you're making the bit of effort, being able just to think on your feet there are situational tests you can get free ones here, might not help much but yet again, it's the extra effort you show. You'd be amazed how many job interviews are about finding someone who can do the job, much more than someone who's perfect for the job you know what I mean, hope this helps.

What is the best kind of job to have at university

[dx100uk]

the one that pays the most

[AndyOrch]

Fast food outlets are pretty good and flexible to fit in with your Uni Life

You do realise that we have been here before and this individual is banned from the site (and multiple other sites)?

Why are you so mean? Maybe you could be supportive rather then being a nasty person

Best place to find a job is your local Job Centre.

 

Because employers struggle to recruit people through other channels, they are increasingly finding that Job Centres are the best way to find people available to start work straightaway.

Don't have job boards at Jobcentre's  where I live, just access to computers to surf Job Sites, and log in to UC.
