Disabled reader on the job hunt responds to last week's column
A disabled job seeker writes in about failed work placement efforts and perceived barriers in employment programs. He cites his Voc Rehab experience from 2008–2010, lack of interviews after sending 50–60 applications, and interviews where employers added conditions beyond disability. He recalls an SLC inventory job where hiring hinged on redesigning payroll and inventory systems, suggesting some firms bias job descriptions. He thanks the columnist and hints at partial relief still possible.
