Re: getting a job at 18
ok i applied to 20 roles; 14 voluntary roles, 3 part time jobs and 3 full time jobs. that should be enough for now.
Re: volunteering
Sounds like you're making lots of progress with it already @toffuna101
We're all wishing you the best of luck in that some of these applications come back with a positive response and you get a good role secured
thank you, i applied to 11 volunteering roles now which is good.
Re: getting a job at 18
i applied to one other part time job and another full time job which is good.
Re: getting a job at 18
i also applied to one full time admin job. im only applying to jobs within a 5 mile radius because i need it to be close to me.
Re: volunteering
ok i applied to one admin volunteering role on charityjobs and three other admin volunteering roles on my county's volunteering website today so that should be enough for now.
Re: October 2025 achievements!
Hello everyone - hope you've all had a lovely start to your November!
I'm back again for the monthly achievement check-in! I'd really love to hear what you've all been up to in October that's made you proud! Of course, it doesn't matter how big or small your achievements are - what really matters is the impact! I hope that acknowledging our victories can contribute to improved mental wellbeing
Here are mine:
- I inflated my car tyres at a petrol station which I was so worried about, turns out that it wasn't so bad after all! I was so worried that they would explode because of me hahah
- I'm still volunteering at the ward and I'm happy that I've been working with the staff there to get new resources for the patients, so they've been able to participate in activities more!
- I completed this year's Inktober art challenge, where I drew something that related to the prompts each day, just using my ballpoint pen! It was incredibly fun
Huge well done for getting through October everyone! You're all amazing!
Hope you all have a wonderful November
Good achievements @kaii , inflating car tyres can be a bit fiddly.
Mine are
Attending my course I had which was like information about jobs, covering cover letters, tailored cvs to jobs etc, I was unfocused sometimes but still went
I had 2 interviews, got declined from bothbbut had them both in the same week, its not October anymore but I'm currently waiting for my 3rd, Ive not had that many interviews in a short amount of time. 1 of them was only once a week anyway so a blessing in disguise I didn't get it as it wont have been finacially worth it considering commuting and fuel.
My key worker has referred me onto a work programme that apparently gets you into work within 30 days and I had to just be like I don't feel like anything is working so was like help me basically so I am hopefully soon going to be seeing someone to help me get into work
Im still keeping going despite everything
Contacting recruitment agencies which I would have struggled with doing myself months ago especially a year ago, I would have had to get my uncle to ring for me
October 2025 achievements!
