Need advice for dealing with human resources and also for an upcoming phone interview
For the past few months, I have been working in a call center that appears to require just a little more speed and multitasking ability than I have.

Hello from Ferguson Missouri
I am so glad I found you. I am a middle aged lady who was officially diagnosed with DCD/Dyspraxia about 5 months ago when I was having trouble completing a veterinary technology program. I always knew I was uncoordinated, but didn't really know until I was diagnosed and started reading about it how ...
