Can't find my niche and feel incompetent

Post by jembella »

I'm struggling to find work in a rural area of the north east. I don't drive and rely on my disabled bus pass. I'm really struggling with the rejections but do get some interviews. I wish I could just have the dexterity to be useful. I feel most hands on jobs are pointless for me because of how badly this disability affects me.

I feel quite hopeless and question why I'm still trying to change my life when I can't even get a foot in the employment door anywhere. I wish I could afford to drive.

Hi and Welcome

I grew up in a rural area of the west country and due to visual impairment I'm a non-driver. I absolutely hear you on the feeling of futility when it comes to job applications and rejections or just seeming to get nowhere.similarly so many jobs and/or job descriptions seem to demand driving.

What sort of roles are you applying for and getting interviews for?
