Q&A for How to Get a Job That You Want

Even if you don't have experience in a role, you may have skills or qualities that relate to the type of experience you need. For example, having a good sense of humor is a strength, while delivering a stand-up comedy set is a skill. You may not have the skill, but you can point to the strength to demonstrate you're capable. No matter what your experiences are, you can always use your strengths as a bridge to get past your lack of experience.

Think of LinkedIn as the social networking tool for professionals. Adding people to your network creates connections that can assist you in securing jobs or information that can further your career. There are also job postings that you can easily apply to if your resume is included in your profile. Writing articles of relevance to your field is another great way to catch the attention of employers.

Think about what you are good at, and then consider what careers are of interest to you. Try to combine the two to determine the best career path.

It depends on the state. Australia-wide, it is generally legal to work from the age of 13 (dependent on the job); however, most companies won't want to hire until at least 14 years of age. You may have more luck being employed somewhere via word-of-mouth, e.g. a friend or family member.

There are jobs at animal shelters that are minimum wage (usually) all the way up to veterinary positions and these help animals. Animal shelter work usually encompasses manual labor such as cleaning up cages, feeding, watering and sometimes playing with animals. There are more but these are the basics.

For any of your desired occupations, you need a college education. Remember that most students take their first 1 to 2 years deciding on what they want to do, while taking core credits that will count toward any degree (example: College English / Writing 101). You might want to focus on writing, since that applies to at least 2 of your desires. You can always minor in artistic, creative subjects, such as art and drawing.

This answer depends on your strengths and challenges as well as reasonable accommodations you may need. Each autistic person is different and jobs that are considered the best jobs for autistic people may or may not be the best for you.

Not really. It would be more well advised to dress in regular business attire as this will likely present much better to the interviewer. Your passion for becoming a vet will shine in your interview!

State this in your summary/career objective in your resume! Most employers can appreciate a worker that had lots of practical experience in a working role e.g., production department in your case. State your challenges and successes you had in the role and how you could use these skills and experience in an mechanical engineering role!
