Or go out there, and do such a good selling job to your prospective employer
that he or she isn't going to turn you down.

Surely I can't be the only person succeeding in the open jobs market can I?

Hi Will. As an employee of a organization, You really shouldn't be airing 
your thoughts on a public list. I know exactly what you are trying to get 
accross and it would be better for job seakers to explore avenues as Barbara

pointed out that two heads are better than one. I don't think this is about 
faulse hopes as job seakers know quite clearly that no job is guaranteed to 
be theirs no matter how good the qualifications are. The best way for a VI 
person is to go self employed. People like Steve Nutt, Neil Barnfather and 
quite a few others have gone down this route and have been able to stay a 
float. Yes some have to graft a little bit harder than others to establish 
them selves but they do have the satisfaction of being in some form of 
employment. The high rate benefits that blind folk get is to partly 
compensate for not being able to work due to obvious reasons. This leads me 
on to say that the big barrier still hasn't been broken between the VI job 
seaker and the employer. Officially 75% of the barrier needs to be 
demolished.
