[Job-Discussions] Working for a NIB agency

[Haylie Gallacher]

Every agency is different.  I would avoid the Cincinnati Association for the
Blind like the plague since they have a lot of issues and will probably
never solve them.  The Air Force contracts are accessible unlike Dick says.
I know this because of dealings with New View in Oklahoma for their Contract
Closeout Specialist position.  VisionCorps is good, and if I did not have an
eye on a job with AlphaPoint, which knows me better than anyone on this list
does and has wanted to hire me for about nine years at this point, my second
choice would be VisionCorps.

Subject: [Job-Discussions] Working for a NIB agency

 

I have an interview next week with a NIB agency for  a contract closeout
specialist position.

 

I have heard great things, and I have heard some not so great things about
working for a NIB agency. I am speculating that the truth is somewhere in
the middle, but I would like to hear about personal experiences if possible.

This position is currently remote, but I have been told it may move back to
onsite. My wife is a teacher with a year-to-year contract, and I have 4 kids
and own a house. Relocating isn't out of the question, but it would be quite
difficult.

 

If there is anything you can add without getting in trouble, I'd be
interested. If I am offered the position, it might help me decide whether or
not to take it. I don't want to make a life change like this without lots of
consideration.

 

Thanks,

Michael
