[NABS-L] [nabs-l] reliable transportation for employment and Skype interviews

[Amanda Cape]

Hi Danielle,
I live in Montreal, Canada and have used a private driver to get to
work. I have always let the interviewer know ahead of time that I am
blind to avoid any surprises and then I can try to address their
concerns etc.
I hope this helps. Feel free if you have any other questions.
Amanda
