Age 29-30 (2) My job rehabilitation began just in this way
I liked Sapporo, where I spent daily life when I go to university. It was desirable place for skiing, bicycling, and jogging. There I felt freer because (prepared for heavy snow) sidewalks of the roads were wide enough. I had friends there, friends of my Christian faith, and friends who gave me the feeling of joy of volunteer activities. I hoped to stay longer either by continuing my academic work or finding job there.
Actually, both idea was so unrealistic with miserable experiences of job hunting session. The only thing I could do was trouble organizers or job counselor for "ordinary" students. There I was introduced to public job center for the disabled. I had known that it was the only next realistic, if not effective enough, step to take. I didn't know the job counselor saw me as "out of question".
School year ended without any productive turnout for me, and April came.
I had no choice but to leave Sapporo and depend on my parents living in Sendai, at least for the time until I find a job "like ordinary university graduates", which later turned out to be a despair.
I took all action I could imagine with my weak imagination, visited local placement centers, and barely registered but seemed (later I noticed that I even try to look like) not to eligible for any job information I see.
Next I went to the job center for disabled, as having been introduced to. I took brief counseling, and I was asked to do small tasks to measure my aptitude for any job. Each task was quite simple, but having graduated from mathematics school, I took matters too seriously to understand and start. One task was draw lines from one circle to another to another as instructed, but I imagined a diagram or flowchart of computer science, and asked a few irrelevant questions. Another task was to pick goods from shelves according to items of order form, but I was confused why on the sheet was written "order form" and what the words mean, took almost entire time given.
My job rehabilitation began just in this way.
The next entry will be the encounter with city support center for people with developmental disorders, through job rehabilitation process.
