Well written and expressed will react and comment on the same on Linkedin. Also needs more support and visibility.  Please react and repost 🙏🏻  Sincerely,   Mujtaba Merchant Bangalore | INDIA Sent from my iPhone ® Help support my causes: NVDA | Billion Strong | EyeWay On Mar 12, 2025, at 8:17 PM, Uma Shankar Veeravalli <vus2...@gmail.com> wrote:  Job hunting as a blind or visually impaired person is anything but straightforward. From apathetic HRs to downright insensitive hiring managers, the process sucks the soul out of me every single time. For non-disabled folks, finding a job is just another routine part of life. But if you’re visually impaired and simply looking for your next opportunity, you quickly realize you’re no longer just a sailor searching for smooth waters. Then who are you? A pirate? Seaweed? A piece of heavy luggage? maybe a work of art no one wants in their captain’s cabin anymore? These experiences need to be heard, understood, and—hopefully, in the next 2000 years—eliminated. So, I sat down to write one of the longest pieces in my blogging career, sharing the weirdest and most ridiculous encounters I’ve had while trying to land a job. Read on and don't hold back from showering the piece with your responses—positive, negative, love, disagreements —I want to hear them all. https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/blind-mans-long-confession-job-hunting-inclusion-messy-veeravalli-w0swc Cheers!
