Hi Pablo, 

Let me think about that. I don't know who has been hired at Amazon. You can see if anyone responds by going to our NFB Job-Discussions listserv. I have forwarded this message to that list, but you have to join it to get the replies. Here is the link: https://www.nfbnet.org/mailman/listinfo/job-discussions_nfbnet.org

Hi dave
Thanks very much for your email.
I have done the interview and been hired by amazon just sorting out a few details.
Does the nfb do you know if there is some type of support group for blind individuals working at amazon to support and give advice to one another.
Thanks for your help

Hi Pablo,

Ask them to take you out into the plant and let you see the jobs being done. Try them yourself if permitted to do so. Have an honest discussion with them about what you think you can do. 

Many Amazon jobs are done by hand. Vision will help with some of them, but some can be done non-visually. Amazon has training videos for managers showing them how to work with blind people. 

Contact me again if you need more information. I have worked with Amazon in their plants, so can answer questions they have. Share my email with them.

Best wishes,
Dick Davis
