[il-talk] Jobs with State Police

[Constance Canode]

I think it is a great idea to post job openings on this list and it should not matter whether they or not they are for blind people, as we are not alone in this organization in our job quest. Some of us have friends or family who are unemployed. By the way, Edwin, I had two friends in Pennsylvania who worked for the police department, one in Pittsburgh in dispatch who is retired and a guy who was some kind of assistant in the Philly area.
