I work at a liquor store. I stock booze on shelves. It's a good job, but I don't get the hours I need. I'll be looking for a new job soon, hopefully something in my chosen career field.

I work in a campaigning organisation that campaigns for the rights and equal inclusion of people with learning difficulties. It is run by people with learning difficulties and we do a lot of work with the governement. I am a Development Manager and Project Worker. They want me to give training on Asperger's syndrome but we have not had enough people intersted to run a session.

I don't have a steady job. I do on-call jobs for different theatre/events companies (that's what I trained for... I'm over-qualified for most of the work I do, and people with less experince than me get far more work than I do). I also work as a gardener part-time (mostly mowing lawns and raking up stuff), and if I'm desperate for money I will go to a labor agency.

In the past I've worked in a warehouse, a laundromat, and as a meat-wrapper in a butcher shop.

If things don't progress this year, I will think about getting a new career direction.

I work for HM Revenue & Customs (the tax office). The only real reason I stay is because I have flexible working hours.

Everything else is crap. I have spent many a happy moment drafting and re-drafting my farewell email...
