I have Spina Bifida which obviously limits what jobs I can do. I try submitting my info to emplyers that will hire people with disabilities, but I never get any response... WHY NOT???

Of course I qualify for these jobs... the only interview I've had is for a staffing firm who never calls me... do you want to see my resume and cover letter?

Hi again Jamie,

Thank you for sending me your cover letter and resume through PM. Everything looks great and professional.

Here is something you mention in your cover letter that might be an issue for some employers.

"If I am chosen as the ideal candidate for this position, my hours of availability to start during the summer are flexible during those months, and thereafter will only be in school during the fall months for the next six years"

Does this mean you won't be available for work at all during the month's your in school? That is the way it sounds, and employers don't want to hire somebody for a few months, then hire again while you are in school. Some companies will work with you on this, but a majority will want to hire somebody that will be there all months and not planning time away.

My suggestion would be to go through multiple staffing agencies and do assignments. This way you can go to school in the fall, then come back and get another assignment when your schooling is over.

I hope this has helped. Please let me know if there is anything else you need.

If you need anything else, please feel free to ask.
