Be open-minded about jobs that are related to "the perfect one" SEE THE UNIVERSE, NOT ONE PLANET

Is there just one job out there for you that is of interest?  If so, you are setting yourself up for disappointment and frustration by just going after that one position with no "bigger mind" realization that there are plenty of jobs out there related to the one you have in mind, ones that might allow you to gain experience to be a better candidate for the "perfect job" that you have narrowed it down to.  There is nothing wrong with having aspirations for a certain position, but you have to allow some room for learning and growth that will prepare you to be a stronger candidate for the position that you believe is just right for you.

Focusing on working in the general industry that you want to concentrate on is a very worthwhile goal, and one that you should pursue!  Doing this will expose you to other positions that you may not have ever heard of, ones that meet your needs and ask things of you that you are glad to provide, and offer career growth and security.  Having the mindset that "there is just ONE perfect job for me, and if I can't have that I won't even THINK about something related" is a hurdle you have constructed for yourself rather than a ladder that leads to the start of success.  This rigidity is hard for some people "on the Spectrum" to realize and overcome, but allowing yourself some alternatives that are still closely-related to the career you are set on is a wise choice and one that leads to more chances for success and progress.

For instance, many people are interested in gaming, and maybe being a game designer is your "perfect job."  Okay, but did you realize that there are relatively few game design positions for beginners?  Working on game design on your own and getting prototypes out there is one way to gain experience, but do you know how to do this?  If not, consider all the related jobs to game design!  For starters, how about marketing, advertising, voice work, game reviews for blogs and magazines and websites, publishing a site that deals with gaming, comparing and contrasting games and series, "how to play" advice?  Doing these tasks will expose you to the gaming world and let you establish "on the job" experience that you can later apply to trying to design games, with your past work guiding your new work.  Isn't it a decent idea to learn and earn and build skills rather than try to start at the top? (HINT yes, it's a decent idea! :-)

Be broad-minded about the work and industry you are shooting for, and use job and career guides that will list related jobs to ones you already know about for inspiration.  See what these jobs need, and how to gain the experience in a way that will broaden you and make you a stronger candidate with a variety of skills employers will value.  YOU CAN DO IT, bit by bit!
