Hello Ashley:

     I suggest using your college's placement service. Depending on what 
kind of job you are after, professional websites and  publications will have 
job postings. As for rehab counselsors, mine has been very helpful. She gets 
me reimbursed for my school expenses and also provided me a braille display. 
She has been good about returning emails and phone calls.

Regards,

Robert Jaquiss
