When to declare a disability?

Why not go temping just until you get sorted? No application forms, no interviews, just your thing, get some experience as you work

To be fair I am probably wasting my time looking at HR and professional training job. I think I am better maybe looking at the H&S and or the facilities management jobs as they are less popular.

Is that really how Temp agencies work?

Was when I temped, you'd go in/call up for a time to register, they'd go through everything & then match you up with an employer & send you down there. You could be taken on permanent but not often, but it got quick work, was always available & suited me cause I was terrified of interviews. Some jobs last a week, some months, could be over xmas, maternity cover etc, look in the yellow pages under recruitment agencies. Should be a few like Pertemps

Yes if you go & call them! Just remember when you phone up it's just a case of telling them you're looking for work & can you register. They're not scary or judgemental. They have different agencies for different jobs sometimes, like A La Carte was catering, mine industrial etc etc

I'm positive you could do that & if you don't get on there, you can ask for a different job & they'll send another temp instead to that one!

Thanks!!!

only thing I can not do is type fast, but I am willing to have a go at things and I can pick things up fairly fast normally.

Well you'll be fine, I couldn't type at all, I didn't even use the internet back then! I went to a few jobs, they have office type agencies, but all sorts, have a look around some, they normally have some of their jobs on the windows. See what you like the look of.

I really can see the opportunies for me are huge and I was stupid to think a few months ago that I would be on the scrap pile after university.
