That's great.  What are the firms?  Perhaps I know someone at them.

Subject: [blindlaw] Paralegal Job Interview

Good afternoon all!

 

For awhile, I've placed posts on the list seeking out suggestions on how
to
get back into the legal field as a paralegal after losing my sight
nearly
two years ago.

 

Since Thursday evening, I have heard from three different firms.  One
interview is Monday evening, the second is Tuesday afternoon and the
third
has not been scheduled yet.

 

I'm a bit nervous, not with my skill set, but in overcoming the thoughts
by
some that blind people cannot work adequately.  I do not wish to start a
conversation about philosophical matters, but rather if any of you would
have suggestions as to how to make these interviews be more effective.

 

I will focus primarily on my skills and knowledge.  I will, at the time
of
my interview, face head on the issue of blindness.  My thought was to
take
my laptop with me to showcase just how I would be able to perform work
since
most don't know of screen readers, etc.  This is just a thought of mine.
If
any of you have better suggestions, please do share.this is my first
foray
since losing my sight and could use the assistance.

 

Thanks!

 

William
