Working from home as reasonable adjustment when you're looking for work
Hi all, I am completely housebound due to ME/CFS. I can maybe go to the dentist once a year, but that's it. Due to a redundancy I'm also out of work and I don't know how to find a new job. I have several years of experience as software engineer - a job that can easily be done remotely, but so many employers ask upfront if…

why do employment services keep steering people into applying for jobs online?
Applying online is a total waste of time in 2026 because the online hiring system is broken thanks to HR managers using AI, candidates mass applying with AI, employers advertising ghost jobs (whether they don't exist or they do but are pre-allocated to internal hires beforehand).
