[Job-Discussions] working in customer service

Thu Sep 24 19:43:35 UTC 2020

Hi Guys,
I cannot find it myself. I am asking Valerie to help us find it. I agree
that we need to find a way to make things like this more visible.
Best,
Dick Davis

I think advocacy and the one for college students and accommodations are

Dick,

Is this entire toolkit for people facing these types of problems available
on https://employment.nfb.org? I looked but did not immediately find it
there. I'd think it would be a useful resource that should not be hidden
away.
