So many jobs want someone who is organized. I have ADHD which makes that a challenge. How can is say or prove that I am organized?

Organization has not been my strong suit and the recently discovered ADHD plays a big part in that. Unfortunately, every job description I look at wants someone who is highly organized. Can I say that I am and be honest?

I have had successes and lack of successes with organization at various jobs.

For example:

As a teacher, I was a train wreck I had a hard time keeping up with stuff (papers, etc.), I lost stuff left and right. And keeping up with the calendar, well...I wasn't good at it.

But...

When I worked in county government, I was compulsively organized. I dealt with many entities (cities, school districts, etc.) explaining tax law and making sure they met deadlines so that they were in compliance with state regulations. I think part of the reason I was so organized was because I was dealing with state law and I could not mess that up. And in some ways, the government job was just easier than teaching.

Also, I developed a system that kept me on track, something I never had time to do as a teacher.

Most of the jobs I am interested in are in the business world, which would be far more like the government job, I think.

So, can I honestly tell them I am organized?

Just looking for thoughts.
