How to find a job if you have a disability. Here are seven steps to getting the dream job you want if you are in a wheelchair. disabilityfriendlylv.com/steps-for-getting-job-…


Getting a job if you’re in a wheelchair can seem like an impossible dream. But as many people with disabilities can tell you, it’s not.

While it might be difficult, thousands of people in wheelchairs have found satisfying and challenging jobs that pay well and even offer full benefits. Many of these jobs are in places you wouldn’t expect.

Did you know, for example, that agencies like the FBI hire qualified people with disabilities? Not everyone who works there is an agent and carries a gun. The FBI has plenty of jobs that can accommodate people with disabilities. So don’t limit your options by thinking a company or organization wouldn’t even consider hiring you.

In fact, by law, any company or agency that accepts federal funds must hire disabled workers. Other laws guarantee that you can’t be discriminated against. However, a company doesn’t have to lower its standards to hire you just because you have a disability.

Which means that you’ll have to work at selling your talents and skills to a company. You might have to look a little harder or do a bit more research to find a great job. But it’s not impossible.
