[Journalists] Finding a Job

[Ashley Bramlett]

Jordan,
If you can make it to DC, you will have tons of people in the NFB to help 
you get acclimated including me. We have several seasoned blind travelers on 
our subway system which should help you get to work and get around town.

I'm writing up some ideas now.

Ashley,
   Thank you for your help! I would certainly be willing to relocate
to DC (especially for a temporary job or internship. It's nice to know
that I'm not alone and I applaud your decision to go study writing
more. That's impressive.

  I am definitely interested in hearing about your ideas! That's very
nice of you. If you want to e-mail them  me at jdfmoon at gmail.com, that
works as well.
Thanks again list for all your feedback and if anyone else has any
ideas, please let me know.
I am so honored to have joined this list.
Jordan
