Getting a job is a lot like getting a girlfriend. Your personality matters more than your qualifications.

This has been very difficult for my potentially autistic ass.

I usually last about 6 months of masking before I break. The best job I ever had was at a college where seemingly lots of people were β€œdifferent”.

Sadly the campus closed down.

It can be done. I am autistic, and I’m usually able to fake it well enough to get hired by somebody. Then I try to optimize in ways that reduce the amount of effort I put in to the image.

I can confirm, I’m very charismatic and have a job I in no way deserve but I’m happy doing it.

I literally got my current job by going to their main office downtown and handing in my resume in person. The receptionist told me to wait for 5 minutes and then they had me do an interview the same day.
