[humanser] prelicensed social work jobs

[Karen Rose]

Hi, Tasha:  I'm hoping you are the same Tasha who was planning to move to
the Bay Area and who I talked with several years ago from the East Coast
while doing a Jungian Paper?  I'm Karen, the therapist in Berkeley.  If I've
got the right person, I'd love to re-connect.  Where in the Bay Area are you
living?  I'm still in Berkeley and practicing there and in San Francisco as
well.  My websites are at the bottom of this email.  I hope I've got the
right person.

Karen Rose, MFT

Subject: [humanser] prelicensed social work jobs

Hi all, I'm new to the list. I'm a doctoral student in marriage and family
therapy and am totally blind. I also have a master's in social work and am
trying to get licensed as a social worker. I recently moved to San Francisco
for a part-time internship at a rape crisis center. I was hoping at this
point to have found another part-time job so that I can get more hours
towards licensure, but as of yet, I haven't been able to found one. I've
been looking at full-time jobs as well. I've mostly been focusing on case
management jobs, because that seems to be one of the main categories of jobs
open to people who are prelicensed. I've also found that a lot of other jobs
require home visiting or working with small children, which both seem
difficult and impractical to me, but I'd love to hear whether other people
have taken these kinds of jobs and how well they have worked. I'd also be
interested in hearing about how other people found good prelicensure jobs,
and I'd especially like to hear from other blind human  service
professionals in the Bay Area. So far, I've looked online for jobs
religiously, attended intern networking events, and cold called a lot of
agencies in the area, including the Lighthouse for the Blind,  but I'm
hoping there are other things I could be doing.
Any advice would be much appreciated.
