[humanser] Drivers license requirement for employment

[Serena Cucco]

Hi all,

Has anyone encountered something similar to this? ... I had a job
interview yesterday to be a case manager at a partial care program for
the mentally ill.  As soon as I walked in, the director said the job
required driving.  He asked me some relevant questions about my
resume, but mostly asked how I'd do documentation and other things as
a blind person.  He again reiterated how the job supposedly required
driving.  That was it.  Driving wasn't mentioned anywhere in the
newspaper ad where I found the job posting! **frown**
