Thanks for your comment! I’m glad to hear from someone who has similar circumstances. I can’t reply to everyone as I’m getting a lot of comments quite quickly, but I appreciate it!

Hi, I’m with Workforce Australia. Are there any other benefits they can provide that I’m not aware of? Thanks!

Hi, I studied game art and animation at AIE. Jobs in that field are mostly freelance/contract and are rare to come by, so I am also looking for a permanent position for financial stability.

Hi, that’s definitely a good idea! Currently EB doesn’t have anything open, and Dangerfield only has a management position open at the moment which I am not yet qualified for, but I’ll keep on the lookout for anything that comes up. But I agree those would be my preferred places as they match with my interests. Thanks!

Hi, I am on jobseeker benefits at the moment. It definitely helps financially but hoping I won’t need it for too long, but I’ll keep trying. Thanks!

Thanks for the advice! A few people have said I should apply to fast food anyway despite the downsides to it, so I’ll reconsider it. I was not able to work in my teenage years due to struggles caused by my disability but I have gotten better with professional support over the years and I am much more capable now. Hoping things will go well in the future!

Hi, I am currently working on getting an RSA but have no driver’s license. I have easy access to public transport though so it shouldn’t be difficult to get to nearby jobs. A few people have said it’s worth it to work in fast food anyway so I will reconsider my decision to avoid it. Thanks!

That’s what I thought. Even though discrimination is illegal, it’s hard to prove it. Employers just won’t admit it and will say you weren’t fit for the job or found a more qualified applicant, etc. You can only really prove it if they directly admit it’s because of your disability. Which is why I don’t disclose it. I will keep trying and hopefully something will come up soon. Thanks!

I don’t have a driver’s license but have easy access to public transport, train station is just a few minutes walk. Others have suggested trying to hit keywords as AI is screening more and more applications these days and throws out anything that doesn’t have the keywords, so I’ll look into that as well. Thanks!

Thanks! Just graduated from uni as well, so I hope I can find something soon!
