[rehab] question for blind or low vision rehab counselors

[Erin Chaves]

Hi Rhonda,

It sounds like you handled the situation well.  What did she mean by a written part?  You'll be required to actually write something?

I realize that seems like a silly question, but I'm curious about what exactly you'll have to do.  I have never had an interview for a VRC position where I actually had to respond in writing.  I have had interviews where I was provided with written scenarios, and I was given a couple of minutes to assess them and then provide my answers orally.

I would say that if you need to write responses, take your laptop with you, and then take a flash drive or SD card.  Then you can save your responses to a document and transfer it on to the flash memory device.  Or, if they have Wi-Fi, you could perhaps connect to that and then e-mail it to the panel.

To your success!

Erin

Subject: [rehab] question for blind or low vision rehab counselors

Hello, I have an interview for a job with vocational rehabilitation.
The secretary scheduling the interview said there is a panel  question part and a written part. I told her I would need accommodations since I am blind. She seemed uncertain what to do so I told her I could bring my laptop along which has Jaws installed and then I would be able to type in the written responses. Do any of you have any interview tips or suggestions?
Thank you.
Rhonda Partain
