There are certain companies that pride themselves on 'finding diamonds in the rough' - H & R Block definitely, and Starbucks maybe. One idea is to find a company that prides itself on 'developing talent' and let yourself 'be discovered.'
Meanwhile, showing up on time counts for a tremendous amount. Doing what you are asked is a big plus. For some young adults (GT or otherwise) doing self-care, such as having a reasonable bedtime, decent nutrition, regular exercise and keeping the substances minimal is a gigantic challenge, but one that releases a lot of energy for 'keep on keeping on,' which is needed when the job itself doesn't have much inherent interest. It's easy to be in a bad mood when one is tired, hung over, underactive or undernourished - so don't 'add insult to injury.'
If it helps to see yourself on a quest to find the 'key' to your future greatness buried among the daily life of your current job - then do that. One never knows, yes?
I don't know if you've been able to develop social skills to be likable to ND folks, but if not, that's a great 'second agenda' to add to your daily job.
I tell DS that there are 4 reasons we work:
1) to get money
2) to help others
3) to use our special gifts
4) to grow inside
Not all jobs allow all 4 reasons to be satisfied, but if you keep those goals in mind you may come up with surprising solutions.
My favorite 'get organized' book is "Getting it all Done" by David Allen
If you haven't already read 'What color is your parachute?' and 'Wishcraft' they are classics that may be useful.
Good luck and keep us updated.
