Getting a Job with a Disability [Infographic] - CareerEnlightenment.com

Although the jobs market is showing signs of recovery after a sobering crash a few years ago, the competition for vacancies remains fierce, with only a very small percentage of applications even considered by employers.People living with disabilities often find it very tough to secure employment, as many jobs would simply be too demanding for their capabilities. Also, a person with a disability could struggle to make a compelling case for himself or herself in applying for jobs, perhaps lacking the self-confidence to truly convince an employer that he/she is fully capable of doing the job.If you have a disability and you’re searching for employment, it’s a good idea to start by refining your job search to include only those positions which you could perform comfortably, i.e. those with little or no physical exertion and relatively little stress.
