People Are Sharing What It’s Like Applying For Jobs

“I just graduated from college. I wish more people understood that the issue isn’t finding jobs. It’s the fact that a lot of these jobs want you to have a certain amount of experience coming into that job. I am also completely blind, so now more and more people aren’t quick to make software or even their office spaces accessible. I wish more companies could understand that blind people can work. We are capable, it’s just that we need things to be made accessible.”

“And personally I don’t think that that is asking too much. In order for me to succeed in the workplace, I am entitled to the tools and materials that I would need to get the job done. So it’s been hard to try and feel confident in getting a job when most places don’t want to take the extra time to create alternatives to visual things.”
