Hi and yes I thik she is being difficult and this is new. How about if I am just job seaerching riht now that is what I am doing but feel aGPS would help me get to and from interviews more easily not ge5t lost on the way walk blocks out of my way and spend rediculous money on cabs. It may not be something i exactly use on a job riht now, I feel though it will help me get a job easier by not having to arrange anything special for iterviews like rides or anytying just use the bus and GPS and set up my interviews for whenever and not have a lot of sitting and waiting for rides either before or after the interview. ----- Original Message ----- From: "JD TownsendJD TOWNSEND" < [EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Braillenote List" <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, December 26, 2005 7:31 AM Subject: re: [Braillenote] for folks who've had rehab upgradewith theirequipment
> Tina: > > You ask for justifications for upgrades and gps. Some rehab counselors are easier than others, yours seems difficult. My suggestions: > 1 Fashion your requests to a certain job or sort of job -- i.e. needing to travel as a part of my job as a case manager doing home visits or as a sales representative makes gps a necessity. > > 2 Detail how the upgrade features will help fulfill certain parts of your job -- i.e. the job requires (or will require) me to keep files current on a variety of clients and the required paperwork completed every 3 months, the database can be configured to enable me to do this efficiently, making me a more valuable employee or candidate for employment. > > 3 Inform the counselor of the shortcomings of your current system -- i.e. the planner runs so slowly that it causes clients to wait, even in job interviews it calls negative attention to my blindness. > > 4 Be clear, always job related and do not hesitate to go to the supervisor or, failing there, to the client advocate that works out of the state office. They are there to serve you and their most important function is to purchase for you the equipment that will make you employable. Remember that their one and only real goal for you is that you work. > > JD Townsend > Daytona Beach Florida USA > > > ___ > To leave the BrailleNote list, send a blank message to > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > To view the list archives or change your preferences, visit > http://list.humanware.com/mailman/listinfo/braillenote >
