Hi, Everyone. I applied for a telemarketing job yesterday that I found on the job site for people who are visually or physically disabled called; "abilitylinks.org". The job allows me to work from home. A home-based job for a visually impaired person is very beneficial mostly because it eliminates the need for transportation to and from the work site. One of the most frustrating areas for me as a visually impaired person looking for work is being able to tell an employer that I have reliable transportation. Although, Urbana/Champaign, Illinois has a great public transportation system there is always a chance something will go wrong and I would miss or be late for work. Hopefully, this job will meet my needs and end my job searching. Best wishes to all.

Good luck, that sounds perfect.

I love working from home myself. It's my cozy safe nest.

Awesome Dean, you had mentioned on my "How To Survive Unemployment" site that you would be interested in participating in a discussion on this subject. If okay with you, can I "link" to your post so that other folks in the same situation as you are can be ENCOURAGED? If not, I totally understand and will not be upset with you smile

Hi, angela.
Most definitely. I will help in any way possible.
Please, feel free to link to the forum and let me know how I can help or what I need to do to participate.
Employment issues for the visually impaired/blind is on the top of the list of needs.

The more people involved and the more ideas, suggestions, and information posted to a forum the better chance someone can find helpful hints or new methods for solving a problem.
Thank you for your interest and help!

You are welcome Dean! I am going to go link now before I forget smile

Jilly, can you help Dean with his signature link? It is showing up as raw url - or does he need to post a certain amount of times before he has access to this function? LOL, you see I have already forgotten - been so long when I was a new editor for this forum.

Hugs to you both,
A
