 *Where the Blind Work
*https://nfb.org/wtbw-main

The Jernigan Institute, Employment Committee and the Writers' Division have
a joint project and we need your help. We are building an employment
resource of job descriptions and how the blind compete within them. The
“Where the Blind work” is a great informational resource to assist youth to
plan for future employment and for the adult who is looking to change jobs
and/or careers. We would accept a description of your present job, or one
that you had been engaged in recently, or both.

The collection of descriptions is divided into twelve generalized
categories. They are: Administrative and Office Careers;
Business/Entrepreneurial Careers; Computer Specialists; Customer Service;
Education Careers; Financial Careers; Government Careers; Human Services;
Law Enforcement and Legal Careers; Media, Marketing, and Public Relations;
Medical Careers; Vocational Jobs.

Your description needs to be less than 1,000 words, and must follow the
below five question format:
When completed please email them to newmanrl at cox.net

*Name

*2. Please explain to us what any worker would do on this job (specialized
