hi all i want to know where is a site for job online i want to do a partime to make money
i don't know much about website can do job online for blind people around the world can do
if who know about job online please give me a advice
thank you
If you'd like, you can check out my web site that's listed in my profile. I'm not sure how many different countries we currently offer business to, but I can find out for you.
You may want to try a search engine like Google. Just type in Online jobs for blind people and see what pops up. Hope this helps.
I'm actually looking for the same thing, a job that I can do online that's not a scam and that's accessible. It's amazing, when I look through the local listings, how many jobs I can't do. Some require more than a BA or ask for prior training in the field, others require a minimum amount of experience but most of the time, there are too many visual things in the job. I think we've all been there but it's especially hard for us totals. Even the little jobs for first-timers are mostly out of our range for one reason or another, all having to do with sight. I'm not really keen on being chained to a desk all day, cold calling and especially mlm or general selling of a product in the same way every day. I don't mind setting appointments but even those jobs often involve filing and other secritarial work with printed materials. So I figured something online would be alot easier. The trouble, as I'm sure we all know by now, is that many online jobs, specifically for typing and the like, are scams. I'm wondering if perhaps I can find work placing ads on sites, doing real data entry or if there's something else that I overlooked? I do have a certificate to teach English as a Second Language, so maybe, there's something there? Has anyone here ever used
Yeah!
It was a good point I can say.
Anyway I also looking for the online job for blind people as well.
Maybe like a board posting also acceptable.
So if some of you have some source for me to check it out.
Please let's me know.
Thanks for advance.
Tiffanitsa, I do know some online sites that I have checked out, and even worked with for a short period of time where instruction in ESL is needed. Most focus on teaching young students in Asia, or professionals who wish to come to the states how to speak English. THe schedule therefore can be a bit wierd as you're working with varying time zones, but if you're interested, I'll dig them up for you and send them over when I have a free moment this afternoon.
What I find discouraging is all of the scams.
Check out convergys.com, they have several locations across the country, and they hire blind people. I'm looking there as well, or for any other kind of jobs--on line or otherwise--that I can find. Really prefer on line, however, because I don't want to deal with commuting and with educating my co-workers on a daily basis.
I feel the same.
may be worth to look at surveys onnline. some company offer that as part of their marketing research data. most country hhas a network of those around. is pretty strate forward, and quite assessable according to some contacts that done it before. and as a return they often offer cash or some vulture of some sort
I, too have been looking for a job online, but haven't been successful.
me to. i've noticed that a lot of customer service jobs won't hire me when i tell them i'm blind either i don't have enough training or enough experience in the field that i'm applying for. I don't mind answering phones and filing you know stuffing emvilopes and stapling papers but it requires somebody with vision to help.
Check out my website brandibryant.fourpointconsultants.com. I am an independent contractor and I set up accounts for a wellness company. I DO NOT sell anything, deal with paperwork or handle money. I simply show people how to work from home and set up accounts for the company. If you would like more info, email me at brandibryant86@gmail.com.
I'm so glad to hear I'm not alone here. I am, for all intents and purposes, totally blind. I have a degree in social work because when I was in college, I knew I could get a job with our state's rehab agency and they would cover reader and driver expenses. Well, turns out, I'm not a social worker. lol Besides, I feel it is disengenuous to tell people who are blind that they can do anything they want when that's actually a load of crap. Now that my son is in school and I'm looking to go back to work, I'm really struggling to find a job that doesn't require vision. I'm a former rehabber so I know about all the modifications but let's face it, for many jobs, some level of sight is required. Anyway, I realize I'm just ranting at the choir here but it is nice to know there are others out there having the same problems.
Oh yeah, and all the call center jobs are in areas not served by our public transportation.
@DomesticGoddess: As someone who was quite recently thrust back into the job market, I didn't seem to have a lot of issues finding work in the software industry—and as someone with a friend who's trying to land a job in the social work field and who has a severe visual impairment, I'm seeing that the lack of driver's license (and lack of ability to get one) is … frustrating.
To speak more generally and not to any one specific message, I begin to wonder if the problem isn't with entry level positions. When I applied for a call center position I'd seen on Craigslist, I was bluntly told that I couldn't do the jjob because it required the use of a computer (a bit of a lapse in logic there, as I specifically called out that I'd seen the position on craigslist in order to avoid someone coming to that conclusion). I was able to fight the issue well enough, but it involved proving that I was overqualified for the position. My off-the-cuff guess there is that, once they hear that you can't see, they scramble for someone "more qualified" ... which they can do, especially in this economy, because the position is entry level.
That, and many so-called entry level positions, in general, require experience. I'll see something interesting and then it'll say something like "requires two to three years experience" and sometimes more. How in the hell can that be considered entry level! And you're absolutely right about most jobs needing vision. Even entry level factory work, which in itself is difficult to find, often requires you to read things, to be able to read gauges and dials and so on. It's insane! I thought assembly work was supposed to be easy and manual, or at least on simple machines, not require computer skills for goodness sakes!
