Just recently lost my job due to budget cuts and other corporate bullshit but as a disabled person, life is already hard enough as is. I’m on disability which is a godsend but it’s just so hard to start all over from scratch.
Has anyone else had to deal with this as a disabled person and how have you muddled through it? Furthermore, did you face discrimination when searching for a new job?

I would suggest that you make YouTube videos of you doing stuff and talking about your disability then add it to your résumé. You need to have social proof that you know how to handle your disability and medical knowledge is a component to set you a part.

Furthermore, did you face discrimination when searching for a new job? I don't know if you have the organization Vocational Rehabilitation were you are but if you do call them up. They literally exist to help disabled people obtain employment. In answer to your discrimination question, yes I experienced it a lot here. |
