Explains the Americans with Disabilities Act and gives job-hunting strategies for people with disabilities.

Job Hunting for the So-Called Handicapped or People Who Have Disabilities (2d Edition)

By Richard Nelson Bolles and Dale Susan Brown
The passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act has changed the nature of the job hunt for people with disabilities. Although the ADA may guarantee disabled job hunters certain accommodations in the process, it doesn't exempt candidates from observing the standard rituals of job-hunting - that is, determining what you want to do, where you want to do it, and how to get the job.
This book's creative approach to job hunting is brought to bear on the specific challenges faced by job hunters with disabilities. In Job-Hunting for the So-Called Handicapped, the authors guide readers through the often frustrating, but ultimately rewarding process of securing independence in their lives and personal satisfaction in their careers.
The book begins by demystifying the intricacies of the ADA, describing in clear terms what the legislation does and does not guarantee job hunters with disabilities, and then moves on to job-hunting strategies tailored specifically to people with disabilities.
Thoroughly revised and expanded to reflect the contemporary job market, this is an indispensable resource for the next generation of job hunters with disabilities. 160 pages. 6 x 9. Softcover. 2001. SPECIAL: 10 percent discount on 10+ copies.
