Searching and applying for jobs can take weeks or months. For anyone going through the job application process,
it’s helpful to have support, resources and a plan. An EN or a VR can coordinate or assist with the search, application
and job placement process. However, you should take an active role in your job search.
There are many websites specifically dedicated to helping people with disabilities find employment.
Seeking the expert advice from an EN or VR about the opportunities found on these sites can help narrow your search.
Interested in working for the Federal Government? Schedule A Hiring is a process by which Federal agencies
can fast-track employment for people with disabilities who qualify for vacancies.
