> Hi everyone,
>
> I want to share something I found a week ago from America's Job Bank at
> http://www.ajb.org.
> I did a key word search for the word braille and told the server to give
me
> a listing all over the United States. Most of the time it gives me
anywhere
> between 20 to 30 entries.
> One entry that caught my attention was Braille Proofreader at Clovernook
> Center for the Blind and Visually Impaired in Cincinnati, Ohio.
> This was a government contract that Clovernook received recently.
> I went to www.clovernook.org to verify the position that they were looking
> for.
> I called on Monday to verify the information and they were still looking.
I
> asked them if they would accept a resume by email. The Human Resources
> Department said yes. I sent it to them after reviewing their job
> description. On Thursday, April 27, 2006, I received an email for an
> invitation for an interview over the phone that was to be scheduled on
> Friday April 28, 2006 or Monday,
> May 1, 2006. I responded by email to inform them that I am available
anytime
> on either dates. They responded back to give me a time of 11:00 A.M.
Eastern
> Time which in my case was 10:00 A.M. Central Time. They weren't sure of my
> time zone.
> I received the call on Friday beginning with the interview from the Human
> Resources Department with the same person who returned my call after
leaving
> a voice mail in reference to the job announcement.
> I personally believed that the interview went well. I learned during the
> process that they were looking for not only 1 braille proofreader but 2. I
> knew immediately that it would open doors for me.
> I mentioned to them early on in our communication that I was willing to
> relocate, however, they indicated that they would not be able to pay for
the
> relocation cost.
> I figured no problem that I have Division of Assistive and Rehabilitative
> Services Division of Blind Services in Texas to back me up on the
financing
> of the move.
> Since Clovernook like the responses I gave in the first interview, an
> invitation was to be interviewed by the supervisor Braille Department over
> the phone next week which is the week I am currently writing this message.
I
> will be taking a proofreading test and filling out their application form
> which will be given to me in accessible electronic format and sent to me
by
> email.
> Please keep me in prayer as I go through this next phase of the interview
> process. If you know of anyone in the Cincinnati Ohio area who have access
> to the internet and can communicate with me to share their experiences
> living and working there, that would be greatly appreciated.
> This is an exciting opportunity.
> Since they are looking for 2 braille proofreaders, I thought that I would
> take the time to post the announcement as it was given to me before the
> interview.
