I love my job finding jobs for people who have disabilities. It is the ultimate “high” to work with someone, let’s say, who has been in a wheelchair for 6.5 years and is now walking and thorugh teamwork and tenacity, be instrumental in them signing on for the job of their dreams as a youth outreach worker helping homeless yound adults! What a rush! That happened last month. And there is more to come. I am drinking up any resources I can get my hands on. Adding Courting Your Career (and any other free materials you have) would be EXCELLENT!

As an all male school, I think the dating analogy may be very apt! I’ve read a lot of Shawn’s work elsewhere online and think it’s stellar.

I also think that one of the most useful tips is that the relationship is not one sided. Since I have been applying to jobs and internships I have tried to discuss how I can help the business I am applying to in my cover in addition to what I will get out of this job. I think that it has allowed for me to be much more successful in my search and has made myself more marketable. I would love more tips!
