Help with job applications!

I'm not sure what the appropriate answer would be for a job application @Former-Member. I'm always upskilling, however, I will find myself in much the same boat at the conclusion of my study. For me, I've turned away from my field I'm qualified in to go into a completely different field. I guess then I could use that excuse when applying for entry-level jobs.

Are you staying in the same field at all? I wouldn't blatantly advertise a mental health condition in your application, as it could go against you (stigma).

Best of luck. I hope someone else has better words of wisdom than I do.

There’s a few discussions in career chat that talk about this from memory @Former-Member. So proud you’re putting yourself out there again. Good for you.

Im really not sure what to say or advise. There are pros and cons for both. I’m wondering if you have access to a disability job provider to discuss it with. You may be able to talk to @OstaraAust about this.

When I just applied for volunteer jobs I disclosed but only because the person coordinating it disclosed she’d had a long stint working in mental health which helped enormously. I didn’t have to explain myself too much. She did say there was a line between disclosing and disclosing too much.

Facebook is one of the places I don't go unless feeling very strong emotionally @Former-Member. It is full of my peers and former colleagues achievements and life events. Something so far from what I experience that it often gets me down. I play games on there and that is it for now.
