Job Leads
Advice For Job-seekers!
Always look for openings within your area of knowledge and experience.
If you have no job experience, still look for jobs that interest
you, because you'll become more involved and get promoted sooner.
A good paying job that bores you quickly becomes no job.
Inexperience
Many not-for-profit organizations, like your local or national office
of UCP, Muscular Dystrophy Association, National Federation for
the Blind, Easter Seals, Multiple Sclerosis Society, or Self Help
for Hard of Hearing Persons, offer programs in job readiness,
skill building, and supported work environments. If you've never
worked or if you need to develop office skills or job readiness,
many organizations like these, or community groups, can use your
help!
