Watch "A Guide to Workplace Inclusion for Autistic Employees (Autism at Work)" on YouTube
A professional manner requirement at the workplace is like requiring somebody in a wheelchair to walk in because that's the policy, but they're in a wheelchair, but the policy is to walk in. Get it? Neurotypical people cannot fully understand the neurodiverse brain, just as we cannot fully understand the neurotypical brain
Watch "Why Autistic Unemployment Is So High | Claire Barnett | TEDxVanderbiltUniversity" on YouTube
Neurotypical people often hold people with ASD to the same social standards when that is not a fair gauge for judgements. A few tips to be more accommodating for people with ASD:
Adapt your processes
Provide questions in advance
Don't use social skills as standard for competence
Provide clear communication
Provide accommodations
Give grace, this one is for everyone.
Workplace Adjustments For Autistic Employees on YouTube
This video touches on the experiences of adults with ASD that are fired from their jobs. I'm not being fired, but the fact that this happens so frequently to people on the spectrum is heartbreaking. We can do better. I am on the spectrum, and the challenges faced by autistic people in the workplace that are mentioned in the video are all too familiar. Be kind, and think before you label someone as lazy, incompetent, arrogant, socially awkward, etc, it's possible they are on the spectrum and they just do not clearly understand the expectations of others.
An incomplete list of things that employers commonly threaten that are 100% illegal in the United States
"We'll fire you if you tell others how much you're making" The National Labor Relations Act of 1935 specifically protects employees who discuss their own wages with each other (you can't reveal someone else's wages if you were given that information in the course of work, but you can always discuss your own or any that were revealed to you outside of work duties)
"If we can't fire you for [discussing wages/seeking reasonable accommodation/filing a discrimination complaint/etc], we'll just fire you for something else the next day." This is called pretextual termination, and it offers your employer almost no protection; if you are terminated shortly after taking a protected action such as wage discussion, complaints to regulatory agencies, or seeking a reasonable accommodation, you can force the burden onto your employer to prove that the termination wasn't retaliatory.
"Disparaging the company on social media is grounds for termination" Your right to discuss workplace conditions, compensation, and collective action carries over to online spaces, even public ones. If your employer says you aren't allowed to disparage the company online or discuss it at all, their social media policy is illegal. However, they can forbid releasing information that they're obligated to keep confidential such as personnel records, business plans, and customer information, so exercise care.
"If you unionize, we'll just shut this branch down and lay everyone off" Threatening to take action against a group that unionizes is illegal, full stop. If a company were to actually shut down a branch for unionizing, they would be fined very heavily by the NLRB and be opening themselves up to a class-action lawsuit by the former employees.
"We can have any rule we want, it's only illegal if we actually enforce it" Any workplace policy or rule that has a "chilling effect" on employees' willingness to exercise their rights is illegal, even if the employer never follows through on any of their threats.
"If you [protected action], we'll make sure you never work in this industry/city/etc again." Blacklisting of any kind is illegal in half the states in the US, and deliberately sabotaging someone's job search in retaliation for a protected action is illegal everywhere in the US.
"Step out of line and you can kiss your retirement fund/last paycheck goodbye." Your employer can never refuse to give you your paycheck, even if you've been fired. Nor can they keep money that you invested in a retirement savings account, and they can only claw back the money they invested in the retirement account under very specific circumstances.
"We'll deny that you ever worked here" not actually possible unless they haven't been paying their share of employment taxes or forwarding your withheld tax to the government (in which case they're guilty of far more serious crimes, and you might stand to gain something by turning them in to the IRS.) The records of your employment exist in state and federal tax data, and short of a heist that would put Oceans 11 to shame, there's nothing they can do about that.

Can You Get Fired for Lying?
Can Employers Monitor Your Work Computer?
The issue of privacy on computers, that are used in a professional work environment, has become a discussion where legal parameters are regarding the limitations of personal and professional use. There are situations that arise within the legal system in which the courts must determine the lines of personal privacy of employees on work-supplied computers.

The Impact of Random Drug Testing at Work
Random drug testing at work can seem like an invasive act but can be justified as a safety precaution in the eyes of the employer. The Supreme Court of Canada believes there must be reasonable cause for an employer to implement a random drug test policy. “Just cause” is a major factor when laying the foundation for the legal parameters for random drug testing in Canada.

Underemployment is a labour condition where an employee doesn’t use his or her full capacity and skills. If you’ve been working as a cook but an IT graduate, then you’re underemployed.
The economy of employment is like a wave as seen in the line graph - sometimes at the crest (the mountain) and sometimes at trough (the valley). If you predict lay-offs from a distant future it’s an unforeseen event that makes one of those wave patterns.

Another tip in making a success of your job hunt is to create professional profiles on networking sites like LinkedIn, Facebook, Skillpages and VisualCV. Branding yourself in a professional manner will attract recruiters, employers and contact thereby portraying you as a candidate worth being interested in. The benefits of branding yourself on these networking sites can therefore not be overemphasized. Networking, networking and networking: The beauty in this kind of job search is that it helps you take advantage of all your network connections. At the end of your conversation with any new connection, ask this all important question "Who else should I be talking to?" This way you get to expand your base and get introduced to those who could assist you with your search. Your networking should however be smart and creative. You can network with your alumni, ex employees, friends, career office etc. Tip #5: Don't bother to tailor your resume to the language of the post. Don't bother tailoring your cover letter to the language of the posting. Its logic, isn't it. As more and more jobs get posted on job boards, searching these millions of jobs requires a computer. How does a person search millions of resumes--by entering search words, of course. You resume should use the same language as the posting for it to show up in the search. Don't lie, just use the same language to describe the same type work.

You hunt for companies rather than hunt for jobs: The joy in the use of unconventional styled job search is that hunting efforts is targeted. Having researched industries, companies and even people, you then focus your search on those industries and companies (and of course people) you desire to work in and work for. You should therefore target companies and not jobs in your search. Further, you need to research your target companies and start working for them before you are invited for any interview at all. Read How to Start Looking for a New Job Online | Monster.com. Relative to contacting employer-prospects... if you follow the processes reported in this article, and you talk and reach out to people in enough businesses - you will find company managers eager to talk to you about a possible job. Typically, no later than the fourth or fifth such serious employer-prospect follow-up inquiry and subsequent job interviews, or sooner, incites a job offer made by one or more employer. For some people, such activities may seem over-the-top -- and these strategies do require some unorthodox but friendly snooping around, too, some may say - but not deemed such by any reasonable professional assessment. To secure career-level employment positions, you cannot be shy about making direct contact to business operators and employer managers who are not advertising to hire for your job specialty (and do not be too shy to communicate with their associated employees or ex-employees, too), as smart job seekers remember that many of those business operators and employer managers are also known to occasionally hire specialists with your sorts of skills - even when there are no obvious job openings available.

Reading newspapers and magazines to get leads: You can also get leads for your job search through reading of newspapers and magazines. You can uncover leads by (i) monitoring the business sections for companies signing new commercial and contracts which portends a good sign for increased capacity. (ii) search for companies receiving venture capital. Such companies are likely to have a viable business model and will inevitably need new employees. It is important also to make a follow up on your job search after you might have attended the interview. You need to thank everyone that might have made your invitation possible and endeavor to convince them that you are interested in the job and will be perfect for it if selected. Additionally, to turbo-charge this job search model, you must create meaningful employer-prospect lists that reasonably match the career you pursue, then put those lists to work as you methodically follow the steps below.

Since a search on your phone's marketplace will return a number of job search apps, which one should you install? Here are a few features to look for: With such business contact details in-hand, and having identified plenty of companies to research for the job you seek, begin to customize your resumes for each firm. Again - don't be shy. Use each resume as your professional billboard, so to speak, to highlight your skills and successful experiences in solving specific work-floor issues, and have statistics to confirm it. Then utilize the email addresses, fax numbers and other hiring-agent contact data to release your customized resumes - one at a time -- directly to the offices of each hiring authority (and/or to the closest contact to them), including HR; later, if things go well, let the hiring manager(s) guide you through HR processing. Prove it to yourself, when you impress the primary hiring-authority, and their associates, with know-how to repair their workplace issues - combined with a teamwork attitude -- they draw their own conclusions, without the candidate speaking a word; as workplace performance statistics, confirm your success with similar issues. As you can see, whether on your resume, or cited in a phone call, or in emails, wherever - workplace statistics illustrate your results as they lend authority to any claims of anticipated performance if hired. Job Search Tip #2: Say nothing. Never talk about being out of work or underemployed. The surest way to never get a job, is to never ask for one. The second surest way to fail a job search is to never mention to people you know that you'd like a job. If you really want to mess up your life, stay in your house and pull the curtains on the world.
The same holds true for printed resumes. Job seekers should always be prepared to apply for jobs. Maybe you are at the dentist and see a "now hiring secretary" sign. If you have a printed copy of your resume in your car, you can apply. There is no need to waste time and money to return home, print your resume, and return back to the office to apply. By following the steps listed above and taking necessary action, making a success out of your job search will certainly become a reality. This is because the steps will guide potential employees in achieving the desired result of employment. Further all the secrets required for enhancing employ-ability have been presented in easy to learn and understandable manner which will consequently help the average job seeker in landing his dream job. Reading a job listing is an important step because vital information is provided. In addition to determining if the job is something that you'd enjoy doing, you can determine if you are wasting your time by applying. For example, if Company A is hiring for a part-time overnight cashier and you cannot work overnights - you know not to bother applying for the job. Don't waste time on job listings with hours that you cannot work or jobs with requirements you do not come close to meeting; focus your attention on more promising leads.

If you are in need of a job, you might not consider job searching a waste of time. It is vital that you start obtaining a steady paycheck; therefore, any work and effort put into a job search is time well-spent. With that said, thousands of job seekers make simple, but time consuming mistakes. Yes, each simple mistake or oversight might only lead to a minute or two of wasted time, but that time can easily add up. Making use of your phone: Most job seekers do not do this. Only about 1 - 2% actually do it. This is because it is similar to cold calling in sale and marketing which most salesmen hate to do. However, by calling the hiring manager or a person that can influence your employment in any organization, you are not requesting for an interview but only starting a relationship. You should also try letting the person you are calling know the person that introduced him or her to you. Chances are that you might not be successful at your first attempt. You should however endeavor to persist by following up through emails and further phone calls. Try building a rapport with the hiring manager and a few others within your target company. That way you might stumble on some leads that would be of assistance during your interview. But be warned, these are strategies not for the faint-of-heart. Mental-focus, self-discipline, dispassionate drive, and a large dose of stick-to-it-ness are required to move your career forward with these methods. Too often, job seekers' minds are captured by the hypnotic distress caused when successive letters-of-rejection or, after hours sending out scores of resumes, a string of failed call-backs for job interviews line up to assail job seeker enthusiasm. Don't allow your focus to waver. Use the strategies herein to keep your job search on course and on time.

This is another step in having an effective job hunt. You can find employment adverts through newspapers, journals, publications, professional associations, internet and eRecruiting systems. All these need to be pursued if you really want to make your job hunt successful and result oriented. Following all these leads (together with the unadvertised) will increase your chances of uncovering openings that matches your desires. You should however keep your search focused and apply for only jobs which you are qualified. Employers only notice applicants whose skills and experience matches the one they are looking for. If not your resume and cover letter will be ignored and discarded. Important 10 smarter ways to find a job Online - Save the Student. Job Search Technique #1: Do nothing, or mostly nothing.

With that said, thousands of job seekers make simple, but time consuming mistakes. Yes, each simple mistake or oversight might only lead to a minute or two of wasted time, but that time can easily add up. It is rare to find a job search app for smart phones that enables you to apply via an uploaded resume. That is why being able to email a job listing to yourself is advised. Most apps will direct you to the job ad and you may be able to apply for the job using the online job application, but you will have to type this document on your phone. Of course, you cannot forget about CareerBuilder. CareerBuilder, which has been around since 1995, is the granddaddy of job search websites. It's powerful job search engine allows you to use up to seven criteria to gain access to its massive database of available jobs. You can post your resume, sign up for alerts to jobs that match your keywords, and get a heads up about upcoming career fairs.

Certain factors will have to be put into consideration in reaching your final decision. These will include growth possibilities, working conditions, salary and benefits, location, size of organization, travel, stability of organization, amount and level of work, freedom on the job, organizational culture and philosophy of the organization. Another variance you'll commonly find with job programs is the websites searched. Some apps will search one job site and one job site only. Other apps will search multiple career sites at once. You want to be able to search multiple websites at once. You want one search to produce jobs from CareerBuilder, Monster, Indeed, Simply Hired, Dice, Craigslist, and so forth.

Tip #6: Give up. The average job search takes 3 months. If you expect to be paid more than $100K it can take 5 months. Some of the more effective job search techniques take a long time to work.

You should learn as much as possible about the company you are targeting if you are offered an interview. Prepare adequately before the interview. Prepare with likely interview questions. Hold mock interviews with your friends to identify your lapses. Dress appropriately for the interview and be relaxed during the interview. You should make adequate effort to convince the interviewer with your skills, abilities and accomplishments with a view to convincing him that you are a perfect candidate for the position on offer.

If you are in the mist of a job search, your resume should always be within reach of your fingertips. When applying for jobs online, easily access your resume from your computer. Store it in your "My Documents" with a good name "Adnan Resume." You don't need to waste five minutes or more searching your computer for your resume because you know it is saved...somewhere. Next, constantly remind yourself that about seventy-percent of all job openings are not posted to any job board, nor even posted or discussed within an employer's own business walls. Nonetheless, the US Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, confirms the aforementioned "about seventy-percent" figure, so don't doubt it. And be sure... your doubts of it... won't change the truth of the number, it holds fast despite your belief-system. Seem too intrusive? It's not. It's only about getting hired. Most folks who receive such phone calls, emails, chat or IM messages or those whom respond to tweets or comment on postings made previously on that or some other social-mobi system - most of us, worldwide, don't mind to help. So don't be afraid to ask for information.
