But you've said before you wouldn't really want to work in the private sector......?

I dont really, but if getting a job is as near impossible as I am told, then as many possible employers you might have is better.

so who is in this private sector?

I'm baffled who it is, company wise, jobwise that is only in there.

All private companies so from Banks to supermarkets.

Actually everyone I know with a disability works in the private sector then. Apart from that post doc in the lab down the hall from me....

Maybe the private sector is better than it is made out to be, but we shall see what happens.

ok, well many Banks are open to you. There are jobs all throughout there, I have no idea of supermarket jobs open to you. Shop floor would probably out with your disability but given you have a degree do you want to blip food through the checkout or stack shelves?

I should think though you would have an equal chance as any in a Bank.
What actual job would you be interested in.
Don't take this the wrong way, are you seeking employment where you can't go or seeking employment where you want to start a career?

My mate (as I said) wanted to 'have a go' at everything, but in a childish way. Because he was disabled he could wave that flag, he wasn't interested in a few jobs he went for, he ended up as a call centre operator.

At the moment I am open to most companies and most sectors and most jobs just to maximise my chances of getting a job.
