[David Andrews]

>
>Hi again from us at Mosen Consulting, where in 
>our part of the world, the nights are starting 
>to get colder as winter looms, a perfect time to 
>curl up with a new book. But hey, summers are 
>just as good for a new book too, right?
>Our latest book tackles a big topic, 
>unemployment in the blind community. Having a 
>job promotes dignity, helps with a sense of 
>purpose, and hopefully brings in some money to buy the things we want.
>Paperless offices and increasingly capable 
>assistive technology should mean that jobs are 
>easier for blind people to get than ever. Yet it 
>seems that attitudinal change hasn't happened as 
>quickly as technological change.
>The bottom line is that for many blind people, 
>finding a job can still be a long, frustrating 
>journey that can drain the self-belief of even 
>the most positive person. There are plenty of 
>great general resources to help you fine-tune 
>your job-hunting skills, and we recommend 
>scouring the web for things that will help. But 
>if you're looking for a blindness-specific 
>guide, written by a successful blind 
>professional who has helped many others realise 
>their dreams, you've come to the right place.
>Bonnie Mosen's book, "It’s Off To Work We 
>Go", contains around 40,000 words of practical 
>advice, examples and anecdotes, all from a 
>blindness perspective, drawn from her years of 
>experience as a successful vocational 
>rehabilitation counsellor in the United States. 
> From improving your chances of landing an 
>interview to the all-important question of when, 
>if ever, to disclose your blindness, it's all covered.
>Unemployed and actively seeking work? 
>Underemployed and searching for a job that makes 
>better use of your skills? Entering the 
>workforce for the first time? There's something 
>in this book for you. It's written in a chatty, 
>easily readable style, with many real-world 
>examples of strategies that work and strategies that don't.
>Since Bonnie's years of experience have been 
>gained in the US rehabilitation system, one of 
>the book's chapters covers the US in-depth, and 
>will be valuable to US Readers. But the majority 
>of the book is packed with practical advice that 
>will stand you in good stead for the job hunt no 
>matter where in the world you're located. While 
>the book is targeted at the blind and visually 
>impaired population, any job seeker will find 
>some helpful hints within the pages of this book.
>Purchase "It's Off To Work We Go", and you can 
>download it instantly and be reading in minutes. 
>The zip file contains the book in ePub and 
>accessible PDF formats. These formats give you 
>the flexibility to read the book in iBooks, in 
>apps such as Voice Dream Reader, on many 
>specialised blindness devices such as the Victor 
>Reader Stream and Plextalk Pocket, or on your Mac and PC.
>When using iOS to read the book, we highly 
>recommend the ePub version, which renders the 
>Table of Contents beautifully in iBooks and Voice Dream Reader.

>guide to super-charge your job hunt, but you
