So I just got an email from Metageeks, "you are not the right fit for this role".. I wouldn't mind but I didn't declare my disability, I officially give up.

No one will employ me!

Hi @MrAllen1976

Sorry to read you didn't get the job. Did they explain why?

I know you might not like me saying this, but please keep trying your absolute best. If you want to work, then you will receive the results in time if you ensure you put in maximum effort to boost your chances.

E-Commerce Assistant, my job Coach sent me an email about it last week so I had a punt on it.

Well I do have 23 years experience on eBay as a buyer and seller.

I have 4 major problems though.

1) 100% of my customer facing retail work is in Charity shops
2) I'm disabled
3) I'm over 40
4) Due to having carers for 27 hours per week, I can't work 40 a week because any time I lose with the carers due to working would be permanently removed by social services.

I can't help any of the above, I didn't choose to be born disabled, it happened and the Daily Mail needs to deal with it and shut up about guys like me being "workshy slaves to the benefit system"

I doubt age and disability play a factor - its the experience and skills they would be looking for.

Like I said, I can't help my lack of experience, nobody in the "normal" world (for want of a better word) will employ me.

Genuinely asking - why apply for a role that you don't have related experience?

Have you applied to Just Eat?

Because I do have relevant experience, I have 23 years of experience as a buyer and seller on eBay.

Do you have any experience of the following?

Writing, Content Marketing
Data Analysis, Analytics
Testing and Data Collection
Design
Development (Ability to write code/CSS/HTML)
Advertising
Email Marketing
Marketing Automation
SEO

As you can see, an E-Comme4ce role requires more than just buying and selling experience on eBay.

The point I'm trying to make is, for instance I have experience of writing content, data analysis (a little), design, advertising (a little) and SEO. Regardless of how many years experience, I would need to feel confident in my ability to carry out each responsibility within the role, therefore as I don't have any experience with the other duties involved, I wouldn't be best suited for the role.
