<p>Thanks for the information. If you hear anything about these
companies, please keep me posted and I will do the same. That
might be interesting talking with someone to help them practice
English. I did see a company on line and it was teaching kids. I
forgot the name of it but you have to have a camera on the
computer so they can see you. To me, that sounds very difficult
and since being blind, it may be hard for us to read the
curriculum that they provide for us.</p>

<div>Hi Shelley,</div>
<div>I just looked into the teaching jobs for ESL yesterday and
found that a lot of them do require a bachelors degree but there
are a few that don’t. I think there is one called Cambly that
doesn’t require a degree but haven’t gotten to really look into
it yet. I don’t know how accessible it is but I guess I won’t
know until I try it. Maybe you could look into it to to see if
it would be a good fit. I came across another company last night
called nice talk that also does ESL tutoring online but it is
based on just talking with the person you’re tutoring so they
can practice their English, so you don’t really have to have a
formal curriculum. I plan to look into that one also. </div>

<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>
