Ashley I feel the same way you do about my counselor.
I some times wish she cared more about her job! She tried to get me to go to
work instead of going back to school to finish up and occomplish my goal of
becoming a massage therapist! Well I have to say that I pushed and went back
to school at the school my counselor tried to talk me out of going to!
I only have 5 weeks left! As for the job search thing I think I am going to
go on my own with this and then if I need my counselor I am going to have
her involved and hope she does her job!
Rania,

Hi all,

For those of you in the job search or who have been there, what strategies
worked for you?  What did your rehab counselor do to assist you?  I cannot
get in touch with my counselor in a timely manner.  I don't know what her
role should be.  I think they give clients job coaches upon request.  I
wonder what they do for you?

I'd like any advice for communicating with rehab counselors.  I feel as if
they don't care about their jobs and steer people toward certain jobs so
they can close more cases making them look good.  For instance mine
emphasizes the federal government; I am open to that but feel I'd be happier
in a small business where more gets done without bureaurcracy.

Thanks.
Ashley
