Teleseminar Topic: Your Resume, the ADA, and the Interview. REGISTER NOW!
If you’re a job seeker with a disability we can only assume that in today’s competitive business climate that you’ve asked yourself one or more of these questions.
- My resume is out there, why doesn’t anyone call to schedule an interview?
- How will my employment gap be interpreted by human resource professionals?
- How do I prepare for an interview? And what are they looking for?
- Should I disclose information about my disability? And, if so, how should I do it?
- Is it okay to talk about the financial incentives an employer might be eligible for if they hire me?
These are tough questions and we see many job seekers with disabilities struggling through the answers as they market their skills. In today’s competitive market, the process is seldom easy but we know that with a plan and persistence and a targeted resume distributed to the right opportunities, your telephone will ultimately ring and the caller on the other end will ask the big and anticipated question, "Can you come in for an interview?"
Finally, the telephone rings, now what?
Janet D. Fiore, CEO of The Sierra Group, Inc., a leading national authority on helping people with disabilities move through the job search process, will facilitate the learning session with Seth Acosta, MS electronic resume expert of The Sierra Group and Doug Pilarski of Sawyer Talent Management Services. Doug has held a variety of corporate HR 
positions with Fortune 500 companies including Director Corporate & Executive Staffing with a well-known Insurance company, and has run diversity and community outreach programs internally; serving in the position Director of Global Recruitment for 6 years in Osaka & Tokyo when with a professional services firm. In addition, he launched the popular strategicdiversity.com website, now in its fourth year of daily publication.
The good news is that after 20 years, the ADA can be a vital tool in helping you get a job. The Office of Federal Contract Compliance (OFCC) and the Equal Employment Opportunities Commission (EEOC) are working to ensure that businesses that do work with the Federal government take the necessary steps to document that they are promoting opportunities to Americans with disabilities. Federal contractors across the nation are coming under increasing pressure to actively promote opportunities to an expanding range of diversity candidates including people with disabilities, veterans, and disabled veterans.
For the first time in a long time, being a job seeker with a disability is something that may offer you a competitive advantage in today’s difficult labor market.
