Finding an office job

Rachel_white

Hi at the moment I'm trying to piece my life back together. My husband of 34 years is getting married to his marriage counselor. I have been trying to find a job, but as soon as they find out I'm disabled, I don't get a chance. Does any body have any tips on how to get my foot in the door. I would love to find an office job

Hi Rachel, welcome to the community.

It seems you are having a tough time but I am glad that you have not given up.

I am not an expert on disability employment law, but you should not be discriminated due to your disability, unless it is a job that requires an able-bodied person.

The good news is that there are disability advisors on here, as well as knowledgeable forum users, that can help advise you.

Please let us know how you get on.

Wishing you all the best in 2018 and keep smiling.
