[Job-Discussions] introduction and two questions.

Actually more jobs than not are currently remote. Therefore they could not require a drivers license. Lol could we market blind people to recruiters for remote positions?

A lot of the jobs I see out there do require a job seeker to have a drivers license. Many of them for good reasons not just to be spiteful. Delivery workers and such. I would think a CNA with a visual impairment would have no problem finding work nowadays. We will work and we will show up unlike a lot of people. I worked in that field as some may know. I was not a CNA but worked in healthcare in nursing homes.  They can’t keep people were squad. Many of them are only there for a paycheck and nothing else. And honestly they do nothing else will pick up their paycheck and go out for smoking breaks or playing on their cell phones.

Most employers won’t see us as a fit or being able to do the job, just an annoyance that has to be dealt with because of federal law.

>>> Hi. Given the extreme shortage of workers and the fact that businesses are closing for periods of time because of lack of staffing, is there something we can do, possibly nationally, to advertise to employers and recruiters that blind people are here, available to work, and excited for the opportunity? It seems like this could be a fantastic time to market blind people to desperate employers. Any thoughts?

The skills inventory or whatever it is you take to help you determine which jobs to apply for is accessible. My husband did it on his iPhone with very little frustration which is very unusual.

Sometimes communities have an app helping connect employers and perspective clients/workers. Janesville Wisconsin has such. A lot of times it's things like what you're looking for and then sometimes it's all factory work or house cleaning jobs.. Give PJ a pat for me!
