1 Employment AND ISABILITY The guide to finding employment being disabled. UNIQUELI MADE

2 ABOUT ME Hi everyone, I'm Tiffany Johnson. I am 28 years old, I am a College Graduate, Freelance Editor, Blogger, and DisABLEd advocate. At the age of four, after seeing several doctors for years, and surgeries that didn't work my family and I finally got the answer to the BIG question of "Why wasn't I walking yet?" I had Spastic Diplegia Cerebral Palsy, and possibly would never walk. So, I began to do my own research to learn more about my disorder. I wanted to learn to live with it and educate others. Yes, I was young but I was determined! --FAST FORWARD-- In 2014, I graduated college, and all resources given weren't helpful so I had thought about starting Uniqueli MADE for three years, but the time was now. I knew I couldn't be the only one disabled and struggling trying to build a life for themselves. All we need are the proper resources and opportunities, because anything we want to do we can do. So, I've set up this blog website to provide resources, accommodations, news, and motivation...whatever is needed to help us in the disabled community get a better quality of life as a whole. Tiffany Johnson

3 What is the Employment Guide?! Being disabled we all know how difficult it is to survive and take care of everyday expenses. We definitely need another income besides our disability income. Because, honestly who can afford all of life s necessities on that alone?? I ll wait anyone? Yeah..impossible. The employment guide is a document that will provide information on doing a disability job search. It will include things like job searching and interview tips, how to spot work from home scams, entrepreneurship, websites and the top 100 companies that have legitimate work from home positions. If it helps one person my purpose has been fulfilled. Enjoy!

4 Job Search & Interview Questions 1. Decide whether or not to disclose information about your disability. (Your disability is personal information and only has to be discussed if you want it to be.) 2. Make sure you make the company or business aware of your limitations. (This will help you all be able to decide on reasonable accommodations.) 3. Highlight your talents and experience. (Keep the focus on what you can do, rather than what you can t.) 4. Show don t tell. (If you don t have job experience point out volunteer work, community service, or organizations you ve worked with.) When doing the initial job search besides checking in with local companies also use the power of the Internet. Check out Online Job Fairs (BrazenConnect.com always has online job fairs.) Go on Virtual Interviews (Online job fairs can lead to interviews so go on as many as possible.) Grow your LinkedIn presence Keep an eye out for flexible and telecommuting jobs. UNIQUELI MADE

5 Work from home scams & ways to spot one... When looking for work millions of people use job sites. It's not uncommon to hear someone say they found a job using sites like Career Builder, Monster, Simply Hired, Indeed and even LinkedIn. Those websites have some legitimate job leads and have helped thousands of people, but just like with anything else a few scams could slip through the cracks. Being a disabled person there are a lot of factors to consider when looking for work. Location, commute, accessibility, accommodation and so much more depending on the situation. A huge percentage of us look for work-from-home positions, and unfortunately we fall victim to scams. Signs of a Work-From-Home Scam: They never contact you by phone They ask you for bank account information They ask you to make a separate bank account to hold company funds The tasks you perform don t quite fit your job description. There s no one at the said company by your boss s name.

6 Websites that cater to disabled employment... Although, there are many work-from-home scams and you have to be cautious when using job sites there are many that are helpful. Also, some even specifically help the disabled community. Below is a list of sites and what they do. Sites to Find Work: Ability Jobs Plus - A disability job site based in Arizona that allows Employers to post jobs and job seekers to search in any state. Getting Hired - provides jobs for people with disabilities, by removing barriers and connecting them to our employers, partners, and resources. Disabled Person - Premier job search for people with disabilities. USA Jobs - The Federal government's official job list. Shown are employment search, information center, veteran information and forms. (They sometimes have disabled positions available) btizzy - Formerly Out of Step is a website that lets people in the disabled community offer their handcrafted products and services to the world. Flexjobs - An innovative, professional job service to help you find the best flexible jobs available, safely and easily. UNIQUELI MADE

7 Flexjobs Top 100 Companies Every year Flexjobs releases a list of the top 100 companies that do/will have work from home positions available this year. Flexjobs has over 40,000 companies in their database and their top 100 list are the companies that provided several work from home positions throughout the last year. Each company offers positions where the employee can fully or partly telecommute (work from home). Telecommuting has increased to 36% in the last year compared to the initial 26% in The top 10 companies are as follows: LiveOps Teletech Amazon Sutherland Global Services United Health Group Dell IBM Department of Agriculture Working Solutions Humana To see the complete list go to top-companies-with-work-from-home-jobs-in-2016/ UNIQUELI MADE

8 Entrepreneurship With finding work being difficult for so many especially in the disabled community. A lot of people are finding that entrepreneurship is the best solution. According, to the U.S. Census Bureau, people with disabilities are nearly twice as likely to be selfemployed as the general population, 14.7 percent compared to 8 percent. Typically turning our passions and hobbies into income. Like many who take the route of being their own boss entrepreneurship gives disabled people freedoms that maybe a nine to five couldn't. Benefits of Being an Entrepreneur: Independence and the opportunity to make their own business decisions The ability to set their own pace and schedule Reduction of transportation problems when a business is home based Continued support from Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI), including health care, when income and assets are within these programs' requirements.

9 Tips & Companies that help to become an Entrepreneur Being an Entrepreneur is a freeing and wonderful career, but like anything else it has its pitfalls and barriers that you have to overcome. Things like capital, credit, collateral, and effective resources to make a business plan that would work. Traditional public service providers and workforce development professionals have implemented strategies to make barriers almost nonexistent. Programs & Strategies: Plan for Achieving Self Support (PASS) - program allows people with disabilities receiving SSI benefits to set aside money and resources to help achieve a particular work goal. Ticket-to-Work - connects SSI and SSDI beneficiaries with Employment Networks (EN) for training and other support services needed to achieve their employment goals, including self-employment. Small Business Development Centers - free or low-cost counseling, training and technical assistance to individuals seeking to start their own business. Service Corps of Retired Executives - free small business start-up advice through one-on-one counseling, group workshops and online resources.

10 Continued... One-Stop Career Centers - assist people in training for and obtaining employment, including self-employment. Nontraditional Resources: Microboards - consist of family members, advocates and others who come together to support a particular individual's self-employment goal. Micro enterprise organizations - include capital development corporations, community and faith-based organizations, microloan funds and venture capital firms that offer access to capital and business planning expertise. Business incubators - physical facilities that assist small businesses in getting started by providing office space, shared meeting rooms and necessary computer and other equipment such as phones, fax machines, and copiers. Individual Development Accounts - matched-savings accounts that can help certain people save to buy a home, further education or start a business.
