5 out of 5 stars Excellent! Excellent! Excellent!.......2007-01-12

I am a job placement counselor for MERS/Goodwill in Missouri and work daily with people who struggle with barriors to employment. Disabilities of all types cross my desk as I meet these fabulous, determined individuals. This book helped me understand how to put these issues in perspective and really help my clients and represent them the best way possible! I really recommend this book to anyone who feel they want to work but have any disability that could be an obstacle. I also recommend this book to anyone who is in Human Services and work with people (or live with someone) who need extra support. It was a great guide for me!

Now in a revised and expanded second edition, Job Search Handbook For People With Disabilities by vocational counseling expert Daniel Ryan (Adjunct Professor of Education, Canisius College and the University at Buffalo) is a handy and comprehensive career search and job planning guide. Chapters cover how to assess one's skills and abilities, recommended education and preparation, how to create one's resume, preparing for interviews, what to do after the interview, accomodating one's disability on the job, employment laws and how they apply to the individual, and much more. Packed with absolute need-to-know information for all job seekers, but especially brimming with critical tips, tricks, and techniques for those adapting to the challenge of a disability, Job Search Handbook For People With Disabilities is highly recommended.

4 out of 5 stars Worthwhile Book on an Important Topic.......2000-03-15

There are not many books i have found on this topic of disabled people finding and keeping jobs. DR Ryan has written a very helpful book for me and some of my friends. I read it and I hope to get a good job soon. Thanks.

It is hard enough to go through life suffering from a hearing loss. The job market is so competative thet my disability makes it difficult for me to be able to find work. In this book, I found usful information to use as I went out to get a job. The book explained my rights and how I should approach getting a job. This book is not just for disabled people. My brother used it as a referance after getting out of college. He and i highly recomend it!
