Hi Yiska, Carly, Justin and others,
Yiska, you have started a very interesting discussion, so thank you for
reaching out. I currently have my BSW and live in Montreal, Canada. I have
had my degree for over 2 years but was not sure that I want to pursue a
master's of social work, at least right now. I found it difficult to find
paid employment when I graduated and was very frustrated and disheartened by
this. I also only have light perception, and was wondering if you have any
functional vision. I began volunteering with several organizations, while
looking for work, and was eventually hired by a sheltered workshop for
individuals who have intellectual disabilities and mental health challenges,
as a social counselor covering another counselor's sick leave. This was a
great experience and I really liked my colleagues and the clients I served,
however it came to an end after about 7 months. I was then looking for work
again and was unsure of where would be a good fit for me and welcoming. I
was hired for a 6-month internship position at the CNIB, a nonprofit for the
blind in Canada, as coordinator of career support programs. I hope that I
enjoy this work and that it continues for longer than 6 months or that
something else will come up for me. I am looking forward to hearing
everyone's experiences, and Carly, what do you do?
Thanks,
Amanda
