[Ohio-Talk] check it out, career fair with Amazon

[Eric Duffy]

Anyone who is interested should attend and apply. We want them to know blind people are applying for their jobs. If people are denied due to blindness we need to work with that.

We have had the experience that they have not been able to accommodate a person who is blind in any of their warehouse is this far. We have been waiting since May for David to be assigned a position with Amazon. I don’t think that they are equipped to work with blind people right now and we are waiting to find out what we can do to address this issue.
