Amazon in America does have at least one blind person that I read an
article about. Don't know about other countries. Also it may depend on
what position you are applying for. The person I read about works in a
position where he is making their products more accessible to people
with all kinds of disabilities. So they are willing to employ a blind
person in that type of job but I don't know how they feel about their
other positions. Sometimes I have seen companies who are willing to
employ blind people in something like an accessibility related job but
it doesn't always extend to their other jobs and sometimes the
discrimination is really subtle and difficult to prove. But I know I
have gone through much rejection by employers and did eventually get
jobs but sometimes you have to experience a lot of rejection before you
land a job. It can be very difficult and discouraging. I know someone
that lost a job and went for seven years without getting another and
with going through tons of sending out resumes and applying for jobs and
this person was very educated and capable and had worked successfully as
a blind person and after seven years he did find a job where he is happy
and happens to also be making quite a bit of money. Obviously it
doesn't work to that degree for everyone. I don't make the kind of
money he does and I'm only working very part-time. So every case will
be different. I hope though that you will keep trying to find a job and
if you want to work at amazon I'd say go for it and see what happens.
You might get more rejection but you'll never know if you don't try and
even if they have rejected people in the past there might be a new
person working there now that does things ddifferently. It's very
tempting to give up. I have had times when I did. But I hope you will
be able to have the strength to keep trying.

Hi,
Does Amazon employ blind people?
I saw a job in Israel, and applied, but I had a negative past with so
many companies, according to my blindness, so, I don’t know…
Many companies just rejected me because of my disability.
Thanks much,
Afik
