[Jobs] (no subject)

Wed May 14 00:16:29 CDT 2008

Hello Jessica and all.
I think that many of us on the list are going through the same things.
I said that I have gotten so many rejections that I was going to
change my middle name to rejection, instead of renee.
It is very frustrating.
but what can we do except keep trying.
I hold on to that little strand of hope that says that there will be
may be one or two yes's.
I will just have to keep climbing up that mountain of no's.
*sigh*
I will be climbing for a long time.

Melisa.
I know your situation well.  However, I'm a little younger, and was
born 
totally blind.  I myself am also trying to find employment for my
skills and 
experience and the thing I run into most is either I don't have enough

experience or enough qualifications, or of course the old your
technology 
doesn't work with our systems.  I don't mean to sound negative by any
means, 
but so many no's can get you down after awhile.  If there is anyone
who 
works in this list doing tech support or IT, I'd greatly appreciate
their 
willingness to talk to me about any obstacles they have encountered
and ways 
they got around them.  Any IT or technology related job leads would be

greatly appreciated too as I myself got my microsoft and A+
certifications 
about a year ago, have constantly been looking and searching to no
avail and 
am ready to go to work.
Thanks
Jess
