Well only the English and Maths qualifications are Functional skills

I have Entry 3, Level 1 and Level 2 in my English
Entry 3 and Level 1 in My Maths

Then not including my maths & English I have

Entry 3 Skills for working Life
Level 1 Animal Care
Level 2 Animal Care
Level 2 Travel & Tourism and I'm moving on to Level 3 Travel & Tourism in September

I would Love to work somewhere with the public like retail, working in a travel agents, selling tickets, being a hotel receptionist or something alone that, I mean I do voluntary work in a castle but I really need to keep my anger and emotions in check while I am working because that's what lost me a job at a supermarket and a possible job at KFC.

Its what got me banned from this site, being angry, feeling depressed and upset and thinking the world was against me. I have a counselling session on Thursday which I hope will go well but I have contacted Samaritans and have been telling them why I am feeling this way and it helped and is helping alot

So not for being autistic as you claimed in the first post?

ILOVELIFE

What do you mean what I claimed in my first post I have autism but that doesn't mean I have the right to get angry and swear at people. I need to keep my Anger and Emotions away and I am doing that from my counselling and talking to people.

I don't like to feel like this and my head is hurting and its been hurting for a long time

We all have blips; carry on being proactive and you'll be fine, ignore those who wind you up.

I'm sure you'll start meeting some life legends and people to look up to soon enough.

PS I'm a bit envious of your qualifications and study

Thought you hated life.

I don't hate life in general. I hate what I have become in life a person who has autism who gets angry, upset and jealous over people who have done nothing to me, people that are getting on with their lives and people who actually gave me pretty good advice which I didn't listen to.

I hate the fact that other people have autism and are not as nasty as me, I watched a You tube video about a girl who had autism and she has a job, she was lovely and I want to become that, not the nasty horrible person non likeable person I have become.

So yeah, I need to start Loving Life and enjoying life and what is ahead of me

Thank you, I was rude to you yesterday and there was no need for it, I was and have been rude to alot of people and there has been no need for it.

I was asking for advice and then just throwing in back in your faces, what it the point in that!!

I might be single and without a girlfriend but no body would want me with the attitude I have had, And you are right what you said, at the moment I would be a terrible father, but that is only at the moment.

In a few years time who knows what is around the corner

The difficulty with autism, anywhere on the spectrum, is communicating with people face-to-face. Those who have the condition, are blind to the visual cues that NT ( neuro-typical ) people pick up on. The way to beat that, is to choose your playing field, so the disadvantage doesn't matter. People on this board could be deaf, or mute, or have to type with eye-blinks at 1 word / minute ; and we would never know.

If you have a PC with a word-processing function, write your posts there. Zoom them large, and use a coloured font or background, so they are easier to read. Use spell-check and grammar check, and all the "cheats" ; then copy and paste it onto the board. I promise you, no-one will know. Before you post it though, leave it an hour, or more, read it back to yourself. It isn't a race, no-one knows if you have gone for a walk, or a swim, or watched a film ; there is no urgency to reply. Time is your friend, don't waste it. If after two hours and five readings, you think it's good ; then post it. A CV is even more important, so take time over it. The Job Centre might be able to help.

Many of us made many, many job applications before getting their first. I took so long, that I felt "applying for jobs" was my career.

Emotions are useful, they tell you what you feel is important ; but sometimes doing the important thing, means putting the emotions aside for a while, so you can concentrate on it. It means holding back from the less important things, to focus on the more important things. Life is about learning, and if you make mistakes with things or people, make sure you understand what behaviour would been better. If something bothers you, write it down, then discuss it with someone ; they might be able to help you. Sometimes life really is grossly unfair, and there are often few guarantees ; all you can do, is shift the odds in your favour.

It could be worth checking out a resume maker app - they deal with the layout of your CV so you can just focus on the content. A couple of good ones are Visual CV and CV Engineer.
