Why are so many people with disabilities still unemployed?
Why do so many job developers still feel hesitant to go out and meet with employers?
According to Demystifying Job Development, one reason is reliance on unannounced cold calls, the toughest way to find a good job for someone with a disability. Instead, this book teaches how to network and build the relationships that lead to jobs and career satisfaction for people with disabilities.
Using a fresh approach, the authors of Demystifying Job Development, all with hands-on experience finding jobs, offer practical advice, exercises, and tips on what really gets people jobs, how to network, get past the front door, and secure a position.
Demystifying Job Development teaches specific job development skills and strategies, increases self confidence in doing job development, and helps anyone who does job development do it better. And it never loses sight of a values-based approach that puts the job seeker with a disability first in the job development process.
