If you are interested in achieving economic independence through meaningful employment, managing your own career and are dedicated to lifelong learning, then this is the place for you.

To help you achieve those goals, The Associated Blind launched eSight Careers Network in October 2000. You can tap into eSight Careers Network, for free, and obtain a step-by-step approach to finding employment or managing your career.

eSight Careers Network offers extensive resources, expert guidance and interactive gathering places for learning how to take responsibility for managing your career -- all from a disability perspective.

Three benefits you gain by joining the discussions on eSight.

1. By sharing your experiences with others on eSight, you grow personally and help other eSight members find meaningful work.
2. Through eSight's online collaboration, you generate insights which can be transformed into resources, such as eSight's feature articles, for helping prospective employers expand their perceptions about the potential they can find in job candidates who happen to be disabled.
3. By participating in eSight discussions, peer-to-peer networking and knowledge building, you fully tap the Internet for showcasing your career accomplishments in a rapidly growing network which includes prospective employers in the U.S. as well as across the globe.

Just search for the word "Tips" on the eSight Careers Network home page and you will find a wealth of information. If there is a topic you are interested in and it has not yet been addressed, simply send an e-mail to MemberServices@esightcareers.net and we will add it to the list of topics being considered for development.

That's why we call eSight Careers Network a "bridge connecting employers to talent in the disability community."
