00:09Alright, today we are going to talk about,
00:12finding the perfect job for your ADHD, tips and insights.
00:16If you have ADHD, your strengths and challenges might not match up with everyone else's.
00:21Staying organized, focused, or meeting deadlines could be tough, which can make work a challenge.
00:26But some jobs are a better fit for your unique skills, so choosing the right one is key.
00:311. Choose what you enjoy, it's easier to excel at a job you love.
00:34If you have ADHD, staying interested is crucial.
00:38Make three lists, what you're good at, what you enjoy, and what people will pay you to do.
00:42The right job should cover all three.
00:442. Play to your strengths, ADHD affects everyone differently.
00:48You might find it hard to stay focused and get easily distracted,
00:51or you could be so absorbed in a task that shifting attention is difficult.
00:55The key is to find jobs where your ADHD traits work to your advantage.
00:59A. Embrace your creativity, many people with ADHD are naturally creative,
01:04making it easier to think of unique solutions.
01:06Jobs that require original ideas and innovation are a great match.
01:10Think about roles like artists, inventors, musicians, designers,
01:14builders, teachers, or advertising professionals.
01:17B. Consider self-employment, starting your own business can be a good fit if you're
01:21comfortable taking risks, working independently, and staying creative.
01:25Just keep in mind that you might need help with tasks that require organization, like bookkeeping.
01:30C. Look for fast-paced work.
01:32If you get bored easily, you might thrive in jobs with constant change and a quick pace.
01:37Jobs where every day is different can keep you engaged, such as firefighting, policing,
01:41paramedics, emergency room work, or TV production.
01:44D. Stay social, if you enjoy being around people,
01:47a career that's all about relationships might be ideal.
01:50Consider roles where you work closely with clients or students, like in sales,
01:54teaching, or public relations.
01:563. Know your limits.
01:58If routine and paperwork bore you, corporate jobs with strict rules might not be for you.
02:03Focus on careers that align with your strengths, even with treatment like therapy or medication.
02:07Research careers before diving in.
02:10Talk to people in jobs you're interested in,
02:11or shadow them for a day to see what the work really involves.
02:15If needed, seek guidance from a career coach or counselor to
02:18help you find a job that's a perfect match for you.
