Wanting to do something different

I have a job and I’m thankful for it. I’ve been there for 15 yrs. I’ve heard a lot of good things about FedEx and just want to get into a different field. How would I go about doing that?

Any Advice?

Hi. I have Asperger's, which makes it hard to keep up with things like school work, job duties, etc. I'm looking for a job that will pay enough to allow my to support myself (pay my bills, etc.) and a little extra. A six-figure-paying job would be even better. However, it seems that all of those type jobs either require a college degree and/or consists of duties that I wouldn't be able to handle. I also want to like the job. Any advice?

Note: My passion is baseball. (So maybe something with MLB?) I'm also interested in law and sign language. (I couldn't be a criminal law defense attorney or a sign language interpreter because school is/was a big stresser.)

Career change

I’m looking to move out of being an Executive Chef and into a more stable scenario where I can utilize my leadership skills that have served me well over the last 17 years. Problem is, no one will offer me anything beyond a Chef job. Anyone have any insight?

I need to her some stories of those who have gone through similar

So my life hasn't been easy. Many obstacles in the past decade have hindered me getting work. Forced to use bad advice, abuse at home, abusive relationship, death in the family, homelessness, and now being out of the age range that most people get their first few jobs i am broken.

I am 26 and have actively been doing about 40 applications a week for the past year and a half since things finally stabilized.I have only 2 months of experience from three years ago (this time 2015) which i got wrongly fired from.

Each day I lose confidence in my ability to work and I constantly grow more scared of not being able to land one or keep it.

I am socially awkward so the first hello's at interviews are generally not the best impression and I can't ever tell if I am being too casual or too professional. The second time meeting me onward I am a lot less awkward and far more relaxed, but I've never gotten to a second interview.

What I am looking for are stories, or just advice from those that just by some force struggled to get a job (or rarely employed) on how they kept their head up and how things turned around. People that know people like this or have worked with them are fine to share their experiences too.

At this point I am just looking to lessen my fear and try to gain back some of my hope lost years ago.
