[nabs-l] Internships/Jobs Requiring a driver's license car

[Arielle Silverman]

I disagree. If you want the job and are otherwise qualified, I think
it's worth calling or emailing the employer to ask why a car is
required. Explain your transportation options and emphasize that you
should be able to perform the job duties just fine using the
transportation you have available to you, but that due to blindness
you cannot drive your own vehicle. Also, sometimes employers request a
driver's license when what they really mean is just a form of
identification (and you should have some kind of state ID card). If
the job requires getting around, but not actually driving other people
around, you should be fine.
