<p>After reading this thread, I am definitely interested in learning
more about teaching English to children in other countries. I was
wondering, do you need a college education? Do you need
experience teaching? Also, if I were to search for companies,
what would I type in to do it on the phone? I'm totally blind and
I think the phone would work best for me. Thanks in advance. I'm
trained in the secretarial field but have decided to try something
different.</p>

<div style="color:black;font: 10pt arial;">Just a suggestion or
two but based upon what you have shared, have you considered
working online teaching English as a second language to children
and adults in China or other foreign countries? There are lots
of different companies out there that do this and you could do
this from home. It would fit right in with your ESL
experience. I'm not sure if every one of them is accessible but
I think with a little research you could find one that is. I
think there is even one out there where you do it by phone,
which might eliminate accessibility issues. Another option but
which would require you to go somewhere is checking local school
systems. They might be looking for tutors, maybe even ESL
tutors. Depending on your typing ability, you could also look
into transcription. If you look around, there are some that are
entry level and then once you got some experience, you could
always switch to a different one to make more money. This can
also be done at home.

Subject: [Job-Discussions] Needing advice on searching
for a new job<br>
<br>
<div dir="ltr">Hi everyone,<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">I am currently searching for a new job
and I am looking for advice. As for my current job,
some circumstances have come up to where I need to
quit as soon as I can Due to factors in the
environment that are causing health issues for me. I
currently work in a production facility that gives
jobs to the blind and visually impaired making
things for the military. I would like to get out of
that line of work and get a job in a more main
stream field. As far as my education, I have an
associates degree in general studies. as far as my
work experience, I served part time in AmeriCorps
State and National for a nine month program as an
ESL tutor and did a work study at my local community
college in the field of accessibility for
e-learning. I have had two positions at two
different production plants mainly hiring the blind
and visually impaired as a sewing machine operator.
<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">I am taking this next week off to apply
for jobs, but I am having difficulty knowing where
even to start, as a lot of jobs I have looked at
require vision. A lot of the retail jobs require you
to check out people at registers or use proprietary
systems that are not accessible. Some of the job
descriptions even stated that you need a good visual
acuity to do that particular job. The ones that
don’t require vision tend to require more experience
than what I have. Even most of the customer service
jobs I have looked at require at least six months to
a year of customer service experience even for entry
level jobs. I thought about Office jobs, such as
being a secretary or something like that, but I
wonder how I would handle paperwork. I know some of
it you can scan, but there are some forms that you
would have to fill out by hand so I wonder how that
would work as a blind or visually impaired person
that has trouble filling out forms myself. I am
interested in a work at home position if possible,
but I would take an on site position as well.<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">Does anyone on this list have any ideas
of any jobs that are accessible yet don’t require
more than an associates degree and don’t require a
lot of experience? if you have gotten a job under
similar education and experience, what kinds of jobs
have you had? Are there any tips or advice you would
give to someone looking for a new job?<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">Thank you,<br>
