Discrimination when applying for jobs

Hi, My name is Chloe, Coco for short. I was just wondering if anyone could help me out, I have a disability called Foetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder, which is stopping me from getting a job, as every time I apply for a job I get told I was unsuccessful due to my disability - because I am unable to do certain things. can anyone help me make getting a job a better experience?

Hi @Ichika! Hope you're doing well today. Sorry to hear you're having trouble finding a job.
Have you ever used any of Scope's employment support services? There are a few different services and schemes that might be useful to you. They can help you prepare for things like interviews and find opportunities that match your skills.
You could also check this list of disability friendly employers to see if there are any jobs or companies that interest you.
What kind of work do you think you'd like to do?1 -

What kind of work do you think you'd like to do? i am looking at anything at the moment, but ideally wanted to work with kids, but due to me not having the right qualifications in that feild, although i have a qualification in it, its not high enough for me to get into a job in that area.
