    Am I the only wheelchair user who wants to work???

    How can you get a fair shot at a good professional position? Any good interview tips on how to address the 800 lb. gorilla in the room?

    A few ideas. 

    First this website has a library search function.  You can find videos and magazines  and check them out (they will mail them to your local library or you) on this subject. 

    Second, not sure where you are in the process but the ticket to work program by the government will provide you with job supports and I am sure that part of that will be handling interview questions and disability concerns. 

    Third, JAN -Job Accomodation Network is a free consulting service about ADA, job accomodations and everything about working with a disability.  800-526-7234

    Good Luck
