How to over come being ADHD when applying for new jobs

ADHD may try to throw a wrench into your job searching process, make it difficult to understand why previous jobs didn't work out, and leave you scratching your head about what to do next.

 But guess what? You can flip the script and make ADHD your bitch in these situations.

Here are five ways ADHD loves to mess with ADHD adults and how to kick its ass:

Organization and time management?

 Yeah, not your strong suit. But don't let that stop you. Get real about your ADHD weaknesses and devise a kickass plan. Break down your job search into bite-sized tasks and set strict deadlines. Embrace tools like calendars, apps, or reminders to stay on top of your game. Take control of your time and show ADHD who's boss.

Attention to detail? 

Meh. Who needs it? Well, employers do. So pay attention, dammit! ADHD makes it hard to focus and can lead to careless mistakes. But you're not going to let that slide. Double-check everything: resumes, cover letters, and job postings. Leave no stone unturned. Show those potential employers that you're meticulous and detail-oriented. Don't let ADHD sabotage your chances.

Impulsivity and patience? 

Yeah, they go together like oil and water. But take a deep breath and resist those impulsive urges. Job searching takes time, and instant gratification won't cut it. Fight the impulse to apply for every job under the sun or accept the first offer that comes your way. Stay calm, stay patient, and make thoughtful career decisions. Show ADHD that you're in control.

Self-assessment? 

Not ADHD's strongest suit. But guess what? You're going to dive deep and figure it out. Reflect on past experiences, learn from your mistakes, and recognize patterns that hindered your success. Own your strengths, weaknesses, and preferences. Get to the bottom of why previous jobs didn't work out. This self-awareness will guide you to better career choices.

Clarity in career goals? 

Ha, ADHD loves to keep you guessing. But you're not one to back down. Embrace the chaos and channel your hyperfocus. Explore different industries, try new things, and consider what interests you. Even if it feels like a wild rollercoaster ride, keep searching for that clarity. ADHD can't keep you from finding your true career path.

So, my friend, don't let ADHD call the shots. 

Take charge, kick some ass, and make ADHD your bitch. Show it that you're in control of your job search, career decisions, and life. With determination, strategies, and a don't-give-up attitude, you'll conquer any obstacle ADHD throws your way. Now, go out there and unleash your ADHD-fighting superpowers!
