Do any companies hire people with disabilities? My sister has gaps in her resume as a result of her disability and raising a child with special needs. She’s incredibly intelligent, capable, and with a supportive team and remote opportunity, would be successful. She was courageous enough to share her disability with Talent Acquisition from a company that boasted about caring for its people, etc, TA was encouraging on the phone and then barely responded to her emails. Any cos, jobs, direction?

I have a disability, and I hide it because discrimination is rampant no matter what companies say.

She has tried that in the past, but appreciate the suggestion. I think she’s tired of hiding.
The jobs she looks for then are so entry level and she feels like she competing with 20 somethings.
She doesn’t need glamorous. Just a respectful position on a good team. Sounds like a fantasy.

She’s passionate about the environment (for decades has been trying to wake people to the realities we’re starting to witness), design (she’s a natural and has done some related work), her natural ability to research and explore facts makes her influential, she’s good at reading people and has coached people with health issues and eating disorders.

Walgreens is super invested in supporting people with disabilities

Do you know if they have remote positions?

Honestly she should not be disclosing until it gets to the offer stage so that she can request reasonable accommodations.

Makes sense. The struggle is getting this far. She’s incredibly smart and talented, but doesn’t have the experience. As a coach, do you help people find jobs? Would you be a fit to help her?

Wow…covid is really over. I live in a rural area where we knew covid was happening but it never really impacted the community or daily life.

It makes me wonder how many other things that have drastically changed (like wfh and hand sanitizer) will go back to normal as people go back to normal.

Hi, I am a single-parent with a 9 year old daughter. Is anyone else dealing with same gender sleepovers with sexual exploration occurring?
