In recognition of National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM), join us Wednesday, 10/13 at 10 AM for an online event, “Tools for Independent Living.” The event is provided in partnership with MARTA and Creative community services, and you can register online through Eventbrite.
People with disabilities who are looking for jobs should do what everybody does. we all know it’s who we know and not what we know . . . So you should start off by convening your closest friends and allies and asking them to help you generate a list of your gifts, talents and skills.
Next, ask them to help you generate a resume. The next thing is to consider contacting any of the employment networks listed below:
