I wouldn't complain if it was my job *smiles* that's my point, it is such an easy roe that surely anyone can do it just browse the net all day matching up people to possible jobs what a life lol On 30 Jul 2009, at 17:38, Barbara Wilson wrote:I think one of us has picked this up wrong. Will, are you being assisted to find work by someone from AFPB, or are you their employee assisting others to find work? As Saqib says, if you are employed by them and helping others, then perhaps this is not the place to discuss your employer. If on the other hand you are being assisted by them to find work and feel you are getting nothing out of this, then look for agencies to help you find a job. Self employment is a prefered option for many disabled people, but you must have a skill you can sell and there must be a market for it. It's not the easy option, believe me!

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.----- Original Message ----- From: "william lomas" <lomaswilliam@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, July 30, 2009 5:03 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: action for blind people employment officersthe action for blind people give youf alse hope that job is easy how can i do that instead i just have to feed rubbish to people and get paid for it it sad, realy On 30 Jul 2009, at 16:47, Tony wrote:When I sought employment years and years ago, I signed up with an IT recruitment agency, i.e. as would any IT professional looking for employment.
