Hi, I'm new here, and I'm wondering about people's experiences with work. I just graduated from college (which took a long time because of CFS), and am looking for jobs.
Finding work is hard enough because of the current economy, but what makes it especially hard for me are my limitations due to low energy levels. I’m not sure if I’ll be able to work full-time right now, and, if not, how much I will be able to work, which narrows down my choices and makes it hard for me to know what to say to employers.
Right now, my main question is for people who have searched for new jobs since becoming sick: If your CFS is going to affect your job, do you tell potential employers ahead of time about it, or do you wait until they hire you? And what has the reaction been in either case? Any other advice would also be appreciated. Thanks.
Matt
