Sioux Falls, SD February 28, 2007 -- What do the San Francisco 49ers,
EchoStar, Holiday Inn, and SAIF all have in common? They all utilize
DisabilityWork.com,
a website devoted to matching candidates with disabilities with employers
across the nation.

 With this website, employers can reach an untapped pool of qualified
workers, while people with disabilities can showcase their talents.
DisabilityWork.com
consists of several different services for both employers and people with
disabilities. Employers can search a database of resumes to find prospective
candidates to fill needed positions. Employers can also post job openings on
this website and utilize DisabilityWork.com's headhunting services.

 Launched in 2006, DisabilityWork.com now lists over 40 jobs with 18
different entities in 13 states. People with disabilities not only can post
their resumes
on this website, but they also can make use of an array of services ranging
from resume-writing and career coaching to job placement and job coaching.
Employment service agencies, i.e., Vocational Rehabilitation offices, also
utilize Disabilitywork.com in their daily efforts to assist people with
disabilities
gain employment.

 "More and more companies are realizing that individuals with disabilities
are a great untapped labor pool," explains Samuel Hawk, founder and
president
of DisabilityWork.com. "Anecdotal evidence suggests that disabled employees
work harder and are more reliable than the general population. With
unemployment
levels near historical low levels, employers are turning to non-traditional
populations to fill their vacant positions."

 Himself deaf, Hawk has firsthand knowledge of the challenges disabled
people face in the working world, having been denied the chance to take over
his
grandfather's business because the

executors of his grandfather's will felt a deaf person would not be able to
manage certain aspects of the business.

 "With DisabilityWork.com, people with disabilities have an opportunity to
showcase their talents in front of a receptive audience, i.e., interested
and
motivated employers," he adds.

 Perusing DisabilityWork.com's services is as simple as creating a profile
at the website and inputting specific search parameters to generate desired
results.
The website can be found at www.DisabilityWork.com.

 DisabilityWork.com is a service of Access Solutions, LLC which is a
one-stop shop for products and services geared towards the community of
people with
disabilities. Access Solutions is also operated by Hawk.
