Topic.

I'm after a new job as the HBS Radio work seems to have gotten a bit unreliable of late, but as discussed at length, I am disabled (mobility difficulties, deaf, and have Asperger's Syndrome) so I can't get a job in the, for want of a better word, "normal" work place due to mass discrimination (Daily Mail = bite me).

Does anyone know of anywhere in Sheffield, non voluntary, that is currently employing people? Preferably in the S3, S6 or Town areas, I would consider admin work, and can type approximately 3570 words per hour (59.5 words per minute), and have RSAs in Word Processing at level 1 and 2 along with an A in GCSE English language and literature.

I realise this will probably get moved, or shot down in flames by trolls, or both, but I am in need of new work.

Have you thought about registering with an agency?
If you make sure they know exactly what you are wanting/willing to do.
They might not be able to help, but it's certainly worth a shot.
As they say "you've got to be in it to win it".

Good look with the jobsearch BTW:thumbsup:

Have you thought about self employment?
Also if you want any help/advice with filling in forms, I can provide this.Can negotiate a reasonable charge if you are interested.
