I’m a 21 year old male who has very mild autism. I would say socially I’m not always the best but am always willing to help customers. I work at Coles doing various things and the last 6-7 months has been mainly working by myself which I do like but the work itself is a massive overload. I just don’t know what to do and what else I’d even be interested in. I don’t fully believe in myself due to having autism and it makes me feel down sometimes.

Not sure if this is the right place to post as I've never really had a 'career'? Ive hopped from temp job to casual job and part time since leaving school. Had kids so spent time raising them and now they're in school, Im 35 and feel like I want to do something more serious but where do I start? I feel old and behind the 8 ball. Aside from applying for entry level jobs what else can I do? Is it worth getting a certificate or training at my age?

I’m currently working as a chef but I’m eager to shift my career path into real estate. I recently applied for an apprenticeship role that stated “no experience needed.” Unfortunately, I was told I don’t have experience — which was discouraging.How we learn if we wont get any chance. The truth is: I’m young, motivated, and willing to learn. I want to grow in real estate, contribute to the industry, and help people like me who are passionate but just need a chance to start.

I have a question for those working a four-day work week. I keep reading about how companies in New Zealand are adopting the 4-day model, but how do you fit everything into four days? Secondary question: do you think this would work in Australia and would you do longer hours over the 4 days?

Hi I'm Debbie and my career is in the Aged Care field. I have worked in both the Facility and also the Community. I'm currently working in the Aged Care Community doing PC, Some Social Support and lots and lots of DA. I'm finding it really tough to stay with my current job due to all the DA's the company gives you. I feel really burnt out but I honestly don't know what else I can do as they all ask for experience and my only experience is in Aged Care as a Support Worker. Please Help!
