Tips for Job Searching
- Some organizations have job and/or internship programs that specifically seek students with disabilities. Talk to your career office or do some online research to find them.
- Be able to clarify workplace accommodations if you discuss them.
- Many organizations want to hire candidates with disabilities and will tailor a position to your abilities.
- Contact organizations and ask if they have a human resources staff member that specializes in recruiting students with disabilities. Introduce yourself and inquire about opportunities for someone with your education and experience.
- When searching job posting sites, try a key word search for “disabilities” to find organizations that work with disabled clients or that have stated “Students with disabilities are encouraged to apply.”
