[Blind-international-students] introduction

[hina altaf]

yes, in this present age to find employment is the most difficult task
for someone with disabilities. that's why i and philip, another
international student here, started a linked in group to help disable
people find employment and connect. we are trying to bring companies
and recruiters to that group and it is still in its initial stage. i
will send you and imran the link to join that. who knows there might
be someone just looking for you? good luck to you both in finding a
job and i will do my best to help in anyway i can to our disable
friends also succeed and find jobs.  some of us  have another barier
of being international.
