Hi [Name]
It was great to meet you last Tuesday and thank you for providing an overview of the work of Resources Plus. As requested, I attach a copy of my CV, which, quite frankly is geared towards my previous career as a civil servant. I'll flesh out the details a little more on xxxx, but basically, I was diagnosed with Asperger Syndrome last year following years of issues at work and in my personal life. The knowledge that I do have the condition and how it limits everything has made it almost impossible for me to seek a suitable role. I took voluntary redundancy in April after twenty-one years of working in the public sector - the highest grade I achieved was Higher/Senior Executive Officer.
I have attempted to obtain public service Agency Work, via Brook Street back in August and more recently, Adecco. Brook Street put an awful lot of pressure on me to accept a totally unsuitable role, which included working in awful conditions with xxxxxxxxxxx. I quit after seven days. I'd ideally like to work part-time and flexibly, but no employer seems to be able to facilitate that. Although I registered with Adecco back in September, I never heard back from them, despite their hollow promise that 'I had been fast tracked to the top of their temp list ...'
With all of this behind me, it's clear to me why I'm so disillusioned. Also, any paid employment I obtain could affect the level of Disability Living Allowance I obtain on behalf of my son, who has Autism and ADHD. In addition, my husband is a secondary carer for his Mother, who has dementia and lives in a residential home, and his Brother, who has profound learning difficulties, who resides in a different one. This is the main reason why we both left successful careers in the Civil Service.
All the best
Faspie
