Where can I work after Christmas season?

Q. I was hiered at Toys R Us for the holiday season but now I need to find another job. I think that all retail stores are letting people go. I need to find a job and can't afford to wait a months when retail may start hireing again. Does anyone know where I can find a job. By the way I only have a high school diploma, graduated 2010.

A. Check out all local businesses and restaurants. Also local papers and your Employment Security office. If there are any temporary services offices they could possibly get your foot in the door at some ground level jobs. Then of course friend connections or people from your local churches as well. You may consider a career option of trying to go back to school. In some instances trade schools tend to pay off in better future earnings and faster than a 4 year college degree. Good luck.

How do I apply for a job?
Q. This may sound stupid, but I pretty much have no social intelligence whatsoever. If I want to apply for a job at Toy R Us or PetSmart, do I just ask anyone who works there for a job application or is there a certain person I should ask who works there? Situations like these create more anxiety for me.

A. You could usually just ask anyone. If in case they're not the right person to ask then I'm sure they'll redirect you to the right person. You could also apply online. Snagajob.com is a pretty good site if you're looking to work in retail. Indeed.com is a good site too since it has job postings from all the different job boards and career sites out there. You could also go directly to the website of the place you wanna work for and they'll most likely have a section for applicants.


Is becoming an investor a good career path for someone with asperger syndrome?
Q. I am 17 years old, I suffer from asperger syndrome, I have a strong interest in the stock market, I would like to become an investor in it to try and get wealthy if I can. Is this a good career path for someone like me?

A. If you're really a virtuoso in money, operation, finance, investments, business and all that, than I say YES! It's a possibility. But there is just one catch. It depends on your level of understanding the social norms of the place of business or even the business' culture. Your need to have the information exact and correct all the time is really important to you, depending on how you think, interpret, and process information compared to anybody else. You'd really have to explain your struggles in life (difficulty with certain tasks, difficulty with relating to fellow peers, difficulty increasing your verbal communication abilities at a maximum level like fellow peers, issues with certain situations or whatsoever, whatever your disorder has that holds roadblocks and limits your ways of getting out in life and doing other things.) so that we can understand you and let you know what you need to outgrow your weaknesses. Depending on what state you live in, you'll have to discuss with your parents about possibilities for summer job opportunities that have to do with money and all that. If you're gonna go to college and study money and business and whatever has to do with the stock market, it requires strong studying and reading in order to prepare yourself for the path you intend to follow. You may be an excellent reader, but technically, it depends on whether or not you get distracted easily. You may have to read about the Stock Market Crash of 1929 and articles talking about stock markets. Read the TIME Magazines, read articles discussing the economic crisis and what Obama's doing to pass laws or do anything to provide us good money and welfare. Also, read about the businesses that are shutting down (like Toyota, Honda, and other cars; Toys R Us, other places). Take some accounting / business / money related classes (if you're still in high school, or if you're on your way to college). If you struggle with verbal communication, than read some books, including learn some new words, and observe what other people say. You may have a good memory in hearing other people speak. I'm just saying keep it up and try and learn more in order to prepare yourself.
