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.<br>
<br>
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. <br>
<br>
Your description needs to be less than 1,000 words, and must follow the
below five question format:<br>
