Hi:  I think looking for a job is the most frustrating job in the world,
even more frustrating than looking for a partner.(smile)

Why bother looking at Social Security if your interest is in school
counseling?

Why not simply ignore the so-called requirement of a drivers' license and
simply apply for things that interest you, using your non-driver ID as a
drivers' license number?

Check the job descriptions to be sure that driving, not simply moving from
place to place, is truly an essential function.  Most of the time, it is
not.  Unless you are required to transport clients from place to place,
driving is unnecessary and not essential to human services jobs.  If they
simply want you as a counselor to move from school to school, for example,
it is only their lack of imagination that has them requiring a drivers'
license.  I would recommend simply applying anyway.

I am getting so frustrated with trying to find a job.  There are so many
jobs in the Human Services field that require a Driver's License.  I want to
work with children and adolescents.  I have a Master's degree in School
Counseling from Johns Hopkins University that means nothing right now.  I am
a member of Chi Sigma Iota (Counseling Honor Society).  Does anyone have any
ideas about what employers I should look at? I am willing to learn anything
that I have to learn to do a job.  I would be the most loyal employee they
had ever had.  I am very dedicated and hard working.  I am very detail
oriented and organized.  According to the USAjobs.gov website, the Social
Security Administration doesn't have any open positions.  There are no
positions listed on the USAjobs.gov website for the Social Security
Administration.  At a recent NFB meeting in Baltimore, a member said that
she was hired for a job with the Social Security Administration that she did
not apply for.  I wish I could be lucky enough to get a phone call from an
employer who wanted to hire me.  I have been looking for a job since
January.  Any help would be appreciated!
