[nabs-l] Resume Bank for Job Seekers Who Are Visually Impaired

[Chris Nusbaum]

Hi Alena,

This is Chris from Arianna's Art, Inc.  Welcome to the NABS list! 
I'm not sure, but I'd say you could email the guy who posted it.

"The real problem of blindness is not the loss of eyesight.  The 
real problem is the misunderstanding and lack of education that 
exists.  If a blind person has the proper training and 
opportunity, blindness can be reduced to a mere physical 
nuisance." -- Kenneth Jernigan (President of the National 
Federation of the Blind, 1968-1986.)

information on our foundation and how it helps blind and visually
impaired children in MD say "I can!"

This sounds like a great opportunity but there is no contact info 
for the company so I don't know who to send the application to.  
Can you provide this please? Thanks.

 Personnel, a 501c3 sponsored organization, announces its new 
resume bank system
 and seeks new members.  We help job
 seekers who are visually impaired by creating a resume bank and 
then searching
 for federal government contracts matching the skills of the 
people in the
 resume bank.  We then apply for contracts matching the skills of 
the individuals
 in the resume bank.  Three of our company's most interesting 
prior contracts
 involved drafting speeches for the White House Office of Science 
and Technology
 Policy, writing final agency decisions for the Social Security 
Administration,
 and serving as an administrative judge for the Equal Employment 
Opportunity
 Commission.
       The
 Javitz-Wagner O'Day program gives non-profit organizations with 
employees who
 are legally blind the chance to non-competitively win federal 
government
 contracts.  The JWOD program has been renamed the Ability One 
program.
 Historically, the program has been used to create menial low 
paying jobs in
 factories producing office supplies.  Among the 600 non-profits 
in the JWOD
 program, our group was the only one to perform contracts 
requiring professional
 occupations.  We proved the JWOD program can used to create high 
paying professional
 jobs such as attorneys, paralegals, and mediators.  These 
contracts have now
 expired, and we are applying to be recertified by the Committee 
for Goods and
 Service from the Blind and Disabled.
       Our
 future success hinges on our ability to attract talented people 
to join the
 resume bank.  I hope you will forward the announcement flyer and 
the membership
 application to your members.
 A free membership
 application is attached below.  Together
 we can work toward eliminating the intolerably high unemployment 
and poverty
 rate experienced by people who are visually impaired.
