6 Ways to Land Your Dream Job, Even When You Have a Disability!

Going through the interview process as someone with a physical disability can be daunting. Even the most inclusive businesses can have managers who have unconscious biases that can unfairly impact their impression of whether or not you can do the job. Madeline Delp has had both positive and poor experiences when it comes to interviewing for a job. Over time, she’s gathered tips and advice she wishes someone had shared with her when she was a young adult wheelchair user pursuing a career.

Madeline has shared her extensive learnings in a video. Consider her a personal job coach for anyone looking to ensure their disability doesn’t come in the way of their professional ambitions! She covers everything from identifying strengths and weaknesses, finding creative solutions to limitations and showing employers how a disability can be a hidden strength.

Advocating for herself and finding her confidence changed Madeline’s life. Her advice can help change your life too – and eventually employers’ misconceptions of people with disabilities in the workplace.
