I did not have the chance to listen yesterday but I listened to a previous
call that had been archived.. archived. It was informative and there was a
company that sounded very interested in hiring blind and disabled
applicants. The jobs referred to as examples are probably gone but the
company always has a lot of openings and I think offices in 34 states. Some
of the information they provided was good information on how to tailor your
resume to match the job announcement. It may be well worth youreffort to
connect to it. The link I followed was off of Nancy's initial.
Post. I think that I was intrigued with Project Starfish as a resource as
well as the others on that particular call.

Hi,

I'm interested to hear if anyone else listened to the call.
I was disappointed to spend 90 minutes of my time to learn something and not
one word was said about the program or obtaining a job!

Below is their recruitment flier.
PROJECT STARFISH AMERICA

If you have the skills and ambition, we have the opportunities!

Are 

you interested in sharpening your job-related skills?

Perhaps you want to get back into the 

workforce after being away for a while. Or perhaps you would like to
supplement your formal 

education with real-life work experience.

Project Starfish America is a global organization 

of people with disabilities preparing for the workplace of the future. Our
members support 

each other to learn, earn, and generally become valuable contributors in
this rapidly-

changing, decentralized economy as we assist large and small businesses in
areas of talent 

recruitment, lead generation, datamining, and customer service. Our client
roster includes 

Harvard University, Booz Allen Hamilton, Holisa (located in India), Enabled
Employment 

(located in Australia), and Clintra (located in the Philippines). Our 60
Minutes 2 Impact 

program allows members to benefit from the skills, knowledge, and experience
of leaders 

from around the world.

Currently, we have over 30 members from the United States, Canada, 

Australia, India, the Philippines, and the United Arab Emirates. Our skills
range from 

marketing and human resources to business development and research. We aim
to solve the 

crisis in which professionals with disabilities often find ourselves: "I
need experience to 

get a job, but can't get a job without experience." And during the past
three years, we 

have helped over 150 people who are blind find work with 70 businesses.

We are looking for 

people with intermediate computer and customer service skills to help us
grow our business. 

Most importantly, however, we are looking for committed, ambitious people
willing to work 

hard and learn, with a great attitude, like YOU!
