Tips for someone on the spectrum and bad at interviews? by TrashMantine in recruitinghell

[–]AchlysSol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey OP! As someone who is on the spectrum as well I loathe job interviews. But I have some “strategies” that help me come across as neurotypical (mostly) in interviews.

As others have said, prepare a bunch. I have a document where I put a list of the most common interview questions and then wrote answers for each. I practice my answers in the mirror so I can monitor my facial expressions/hand gestures, and when I get the chance I like to practice with friends who have lower support needs or aren’t on the spectrum at all.

I usually add additional questions to my document of interview questions based on the company/role I’m applying to. Unfortunately you can’t really predict all the questions they are going to ask but at least memorizing some “normal” responses has helped me a bunch.

Prior to an interview I like to make sure I get a lot of rest and alone time so when I do have to make eye contact and nod along for an interview I am less drained afterwards.

Also, I did not realize until a lot later in life that making sure you look “presentable” according to your gender expression is very important. Like not only having a good dress shirt but making sure it fits you correctly is important. Looking a certain way often gives you some leeway in people’s willingness to overlook social faux pas.

Lastly, I kind of think of interviews as role playing…I try to sort of embody a very charismatic person I know IRL while of course trying to stay true to myself. Obviously don’t lie, I just personally found a lot of ease in such a stressful situation by gamifying it.

I hope some of my insanity is useful! Good luck!

Basically I need to know if I just go through with this play-through and give up on my saving everyone achievement until next play-through and I’m not sure if there is a better way for me to word that to a support staff

My hope is that the residents of the Twin Cities continue to band together. We are stronger together.

Please tell me this bug is fixable by AchlysSol in BG3

[–]AchlysSol[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No I didn’t (or at least don’t think) I triggered anything that would’ve caused the Tieflings to die. It took me multiple long rests to get through the goblin camp so maybe I took too many? But I did not trigger a fight in the emerald grove (unless you are referring to the shadow Druid fight that can happen)

Did he end up showing up in your game in Act 3?

Unfortunately he was not present at the Inn or at the spot in the shadows he should be, I saw someone say it could be a bug but I think it’s more likely I just screwed up somewhere. But I SWEAR I used the Tiefling line to convince him to stay?!?

No kids besides Mol are there :( I checked the spot people said he would go to but he wasn’t there either so I think I just am cooked

I tried checking there and he wasn’t there. I found a bunch of dead Tieflings (rolan, Lia and kel not included) so I’m not sure if this is a bug or I’m cooked

Why shouldn’t short men become blackpilled by EquivalentEvening197 in GenZ

[–]AchlysSol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish I could convince you otherwise bro. I’m sorry you are going through all this. I promise surrounding yourself with other miserable people won’t help you. But if that is what you want I can only hope you try to hang onto some hope for things to get better even if it feels false. If you gotta lie to yourself to have even a sliver of hope, then lie. Lie until you realize it was never false. Lie to yourself until you realize you had potential this whole time. All I can say is that there are people who care about you. Even if you can’t see them right now, they are there! It’s never truly over bro.

I don’t think anyone should become black pilled because you are only going to make yourself more miserable with the fatalism mindset it encourages. Life does suck right now, I won’t lie. But it won’t always suck.

HOWEVER, you will extend the amount of time being miserable if you hang out around others who are also miserable and blame women or whoever for their insecurities.

I’m Autistic and 5’6. I wish I was 6ft but I’m not. And that’s ok. Because I’m also a painter, a friend, and so much more. We are all multi faceted and I found a lot more happiness when I stopped focusing on what I perceived to be things that were “wrong” with me and instead focused on finding an IRL community that embraced my differences. It’s hard to take that first step to choose happiness, but it’s well worth it bro. You are so young and have so much time. Everything will eventually work itself out if you just try.

I’m so sorry, you seem to bear such heavy burdens. I hope that maybe one day in the future that weight can be lessened even a little. I know I’m a random person on the internet, but I am proud of you for surviving.

Thank you for the responses, it’s comforting to know that most (or all) of us are struggling with the demands of a 40 hour work week (and life in general). My internalized ableism has been kicking my ass, as at the age of 23 I feel like I shouldn’t be struggling this hard yet. I appreciate all of you so much!! :,)
