>> Yeah that’s true. But then when they shorten up an interview you know some thing is “not right“ with them. You can hear it in their voice especially when you walk in and they see the cane. It’s either too quiet or some other thing. My husbands had the experience where you went to the interview, the receptionist saw him with his cane being totally blind and reported that to the person they were supposed to speak to. Then the receptionist came back and said that the person was busy and couldn’t meet with him. That’s the signal for we’re freaking out here and if we don’t interview you and pass you up then we can’t be held responsible for being discriminatory.

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.

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!
