Dear NFBNET Members:

 

Many people have been asking about how to write resumes and other topics
that are covered with materials on our NFB Employment Committee website.
The following things may be helpful if you are looking for a job.  

 

The first is the link to our NFB Employment Committee Web Page, which is
https://employment.nfb.org/  It has links to a number of resources: the
signup for the NFB Jobs listserv, contact information for employers who have
attended our past Job Fairs, and resources for job seekers.  

 

Here is the link to the complete recording of our 2018 Job Seeker Seminar
and some of the other things mentioned above. You can listen to the seminar
in its entirety or choose what parts of it are of interest to you.

<https://employment.nfb.org/2017%20NFB%20Job%20Seeker%20Seminar%20Resume%20W
riting%20and%20Interviewing%20Presentation.pdf> Read or download the 2017
NFB Job Seeker Resume Writing and Interviewing Presentation

 

The above link should work, but if it does not, you can find the original
link on the Convention Page (link above).  This is a great resource from
Wells Fargo on how to write a resume.  You can also listen to the recording
of the presentation.  

 

You can find a lot of job seeking, resume writing, and cover letter writing
tips on the following link.

Where the Blind Work had 2,500 contacts last year.  It is a list of blind
people who are working in a wide range of jobs.  There is detailed
information about what they do and how they do it.

I hope this helps a number of you.  We are currently working on making our
website more user friendly, and will be adding more information to it in the
future.  Check it out to learn more about what we are doing at this year's
national convention.  

 

Best wishes, 

Dick Davis, Chairperson

NFB Employment Committee

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the
characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the
expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles
between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want;
blindness is not what holds you back.
