[Job-Discussions] Questions about contract and contract to hire jobs from a blindness perspective and reasonable accommodations

[Justin Williams]

I did okay as a sourcing intern, but it was with a false start at first due
to accessibility.

You'd have to be careful of your field, and have control over your platform.
I know a guy who is a sourcer who is pretty successful.  Up until getting a
full time job in his field; he's done great.  It's going to depend on
adaptability skills.
  You'll have to work around accessibility issues with adaptability. 

Use AIRA to help you out.

Sense the company is not your employer, they are not responsible for
accommodations.  If your employer is the staffing company, they would be,
and if you are your on freelance contractor, then  you would be, though you
can get assistance from voc rehab if you have a case through job retention.

Hi,

How much success have you had with employment, if you accepted a contract or
contract to hire job through a staffing agency? How did that work out for
your long-term success, especially in terms of things like accessibility
issues and reasonable accommodations?

Thank you,
Mike
