My career counselor referred me to this company that helps people get back to work after having a disability or who currently have a disability. I really feel like I am at a big disadvantage compared to other people because of my anxiety and it has definitely affected my work, even resulting in a self imposed demotion previously. They're going to help me focus on my abilities and help me with my job search.
I feel so relieved that I am getting all this help now. I finally feel like my life is moving forward.
On the downside, I took a workshop in applying for federal government jobs today and realized that I did a lot of things wrong and that it is much more labour intensive than I thought. I did not put in nearly enough work and effort into my application. There was also no way I could have in the time frame I was given. Oh well, at least now I have experience in the application process. They told us in the workshop to not count on having a government job and to mainly focus on other jobs, just because it is so darned competitive to get into the public sector. The application/interview process sounds really scary BTW, with numerous tests, interviews etc.
