My search for employment has been long and tedious. Signing up for many different companies through their individual sites. Completing 5-15 minute tests on Indeed while 2-300+ people are signing up for the same position. Many of them are more able-bodied and not looking for many hours of work. Some jobs have requirements that I am not able to meet, such as having a driver’s license or college diploma in that given area.
One of the issues that I face is that my hands are not
as dexterous as most looking in that same position. Which places someone like me
at the bottom of the rung. I have applied to hundreds of postings on Indeed
with no response or receiving a statement of something like not having the
right requirements or they have moved on with another candidate. I feel that if
you cannot get into retail, restaurant, or factory/warehouse there aren’t many
options to choose from without extensive education, which takes time and money.
I feel as if I am fully able to operate most of these
available jobs. What is hindering my search is finding an employer to give me a
chance to prove that I am able to complete the tasks necessary for the given job.
Out of all the job postings that I have applied to I received seven interviews
and no offers. There are fewer jobs available after the minimum wage increases to a higher
amount.
As a disabled person, what do you do for support?
