[nabs-l] Letting know of desire to colaborate but with compensation?

[Antonio Guimaraes]

Herardo,

I am sorry you are having such a difficult time of finding employment with compensation.

However, I realize you have potential, and that you are being discriminated for having a disability.

I don’t know how the work and blindness culture of attitudes on blindness works in Mexico.

Your approach to write emails to offer your services may work, but I see no way to ask indirectly for something that should be agreed on like payment for your services. I see no way around it. You are offering a valued service, and companies should be paying for them. You value your skills, obviously. The problem seems to be that businesses do not value services if they come from blind people.

This is discriminatory, and I don’t know what you can do to avoid or address it in your country. But there is no way to suggest that you want to get payed for the work you do except to directly state you charge for it. That is the only way you show you value your time and skills. Communicating your needs to the company is how you show them you mean business. The only way to assert yourself in this case is to offer a service others are willing to pay for.

this is not an easy battle, and i wish you luck.

Regards,

Antonio

> OK the deal is that here in my area, I'm convinced I won't get a job, especially since the blindness culture is in diapers! thus I wonder if I write EMails and offer my services there, how would I clarify in the EMail indirectly, that I'd like to colaborate with these companies or organizations, but with compensation, rather than as a volunteer? I've written in the past EMails like these, but maybe when I put in the Email that I'd like compensation or salary or whatever you want to call it, that's what might scare off these potential people who might say yes otherwise? Thanks for ideas; I really really want to do something! and if the Internet is a possibility, why not! I won't want to clutter the list with details, but if anyone wants to get in contact, my Email is open.
