[nabs-l] jobs

[Elizabeth Mohnke]

Hello John,

Have you tried using the job feature that is found within Newsline? I found
this feature to be rather easy to use, and you can look up jobs based on
different job categories and locations. If you have not already checked out
the jobs feature in Newsline, I would encourage you to give it a try.

Also, I sent you an announcement privately about an employment seminar the
Michigan Association of Blind Students is hosting at the end of the month.
Did you receive this announcement? I believe this seminar is designed to
help young people like you who are looking for employment opportunities. I
would highly encourage you to attend this seminar.

Warm regards,
Elizabeth

Hi,
I've done things like walk in to actual businesses and ask if they were
hiring.
A couple of them said that they weren't.
Now I'm doing some searching on the internet.
I hope to hear from you soon.
Sincerely,
John Sanders

They are supposed to help prepare you to be employable not find the job for
you.
For example if there is something you want to do as your career they will
pay for the necessary training or education.

VR is funding my degree. I went back to school at the age of 48. but it is
my responsibility to find a job. I also feel you are much more likely to be
hired if you approach a company vs someone approach them for you.
