I've been applying online for government jobs, because I once worked for the government and supposedly have preference for getting a job because of that. My current job might be going away soon and I'm getting desperate. I live in a small town with not many jobs. Being avoidant means I have no friends and nobody for references. And of course no networking for jobs. This disorder is truly crippling. It's bad enough that it's ruined my personal life, but it's made it so darned difficult to get by. Any tips for avoidants?
I've managed not to have a job since school (I'm 33 now). However, the means by which I've supported myself - as a musician - have all bust vanished, due to the economy. I sent CVs out over the past year to all sorts of jobs and not a single interview. Yes, the economy's bad, but I see lots of people walking out of one job and into another, and with all my expertise, I can't even get a job licking envelopes. It's very disheartening.
