Summary for April: Creating a Level Recruiting Field

We have all received some outstanding observations through the comments of participants on eSight’s "Swimming in the Mainstream" (SiM) blog during April.

The topic: dealing with disadvantages in employment opportunities due to disability.

I've selected some snippets from that conversation to illustrate four issues job candidates with a disability often face in seeking employment in the mainstream job market.

"‘Swimming in the Mainstream’ Insight: Creating a Level Recruiting Field" details those four issues.

In that article, you’ll see that those four issues, although formidable, are not insurmountable.

This new article in eSight’s Employer Resources section illustrates these three benefits you gain by joining the discussion on eSight’s SiM blog:

You grow personally and help other eSight members find meaningful work.

You generate insights which can be transformed into employer resources, such as this week’s featured article.

You fully tap the Internet for showcasing your career accomplishments in a rapidly growing network.

We will e-mail this week’s new Employer Resources article to our extensive outreach e-mail list, which includes a wide range of employers.

Note that this week’s featured article includes links to the offering statements of the eSight SiM blog participants it quotes.

You can also gain immediate visibility for yourself under this ongoing eSight networking initiative by submitting a two-sentence "offering statement" which describes what you can do for a potential employer.

Also read the offering statements others have posted.
