Okay I posted on here before I’m sorry! I’ve been an anxious wreck and other job related forums wreak of LinkedIn propaganda and are making me feel bad. For context: I’m in grad school right now for communications/marketing (off for summer break). I live at home, have a good chunk in my savings, and don’t pay rent but was hoping to move out with the income from my job.
I finished an internship mid-April and immediately after started a full-time job. I thought the job would be writing and comms and I really liked the team, but because of my misunderstanding (and their somewhat vague job posting) it ended up being all numbers/data. I have 3 learning disabilities, dyscalculia (issues with numbers/sequences), dyspraxia (issues with spatial reasoning) and ADHD. So the long instructions sheets and moving data from one database to the next to the next sheet to the next sheet has been impossible and stressful. I have been making mistakes left and right (even in proofreading and I’m an editor) because my brain is so scrambled.
Spoke to my therapist and career counselor and both said I should quit because it isn’t aligned. I’ve applied to 100+ jobs but haven’t heard back from any yet. Can someone please reassure me this is okay, and that I’m not a scrub? Anyone with shared experiences?
