[nabs-l] Resume Bank for Job Seekers Who Are Visually Impaired

[Michael Beattie]

      Visionary
Personnel, a 501c3 sponsored organization, announces its new resume bank system
and seeks new members.  We help job
seekers who are visually impaired by creating a resume bank and then searching
for federal government contracts matching the skills of the people in the
resume bank. We then apply for contracts matching the skills of the individuals
in the resume bank. Three of our company's most interesting prior contracts
involved drafting speeches for the White House Office of Science and Technology
Policy, writing final agency decisions for the Social Security Administration,
and serving as an administrative judge for the Equal Employment Opportunity
Commission.
      The
Javitz-Wagner O'Day program gives non-profit organizations with employees who
are legally blind the chance to non-competitively win federal government
contracts. The JWOD program has been renamed the Ability One program.
Historically, the program has been used to create menial low paying jobs in
factories producing office supplies. Among the 600 non-profits in the JWOD
program, our group was the only one to perform contracts requiring professional
occupations. We proved the JWOD program can used to create high paying professional
jobs such as attorneys, paralegals, and mediators. These contracts have now
expired, and we are applying to be recertified by the Committee for Goods and
Service from the Blind and Disabled.  
      Our
future success hinges on our ability to attract talented people to join the
resume bank. I hope you will forward the announcement flyer and the membership
application to your members.
A free membership
application is attached below.  Together
we can work toward eliminating the intolerably high unemployment and poverty
rate experienced by people who are visually impaired.
