This makes me mad

I am surprised that you don’t have anyone assisting you. I think it’s impressive that you made it this far without help. Maybe there are a few things a job coach could work with you on. Perhaps you could reach out to a blindness organization nearby to see if they can recommend someone in your area. If you would like to follow up with me, I would be willing too speak with you. You can reach out to me via private message and I would be happy to correspond with you and aide you with some helpful tips. Many have been made here already, which I think are important to note . Meaning looking for work should be your work at this point. And that does mean following up with emails and waiting requisite periods of time before communicating back with them.

You’re absolutely correct on the point Jayson. I agree with you 100% one thing that I learned in career guidance is always be professional and be respectful towards coworkers.

That is true. I did learn about all that when I had a career guidance at CcRC. Rosie had definitely taught me a lot and I’m glad that I had learned about it.

Basically it works like this in the real world. A job expects you to act like a professional. If there’s something you need to figure out — like how you’re getting to work — that’s on you. You’re the adult. Every adult, blind or sighted, has to figure out how to get themselves to the job. The employer’s responsibility is to make sure you have the tools to actually do the job you were hired for. That’s where accommodations come in. But getting there, managing your time, following up — that’s just basic professionalism. The normal process is simple. You do the interview. Then you send a thank-you email to the person you spoke with. If you haven’t heard anything, you follow up about a week later. That’s how it works. If none of that happened, the employer probably assumes you’re not interested or not serious. Next.

People do that mess because they don’t realize that if you’re blind or visually impaired, they don’t know about it unless you tell them. That’s one thing that I learned in career guidance when at CcRC in Austin. When I was at the Criss Cole Rehabilitation Center for the Blind, I had definitely learned a lot and it stuck with me.
