A Different Kind of Candidate

#rejections, #terminations, and #resignation from #employment due to my #disabilities has been a fairly regular occurrence in my #career. #disabilityemploymentawareness is a huge factor I take into account when #jobseeking now, and with how little #accomodation is made available to #disabled #workers, I am strongly considering a complete #careerchange into #owneroperator of my own #smallbusiness in #art and #photography... a full #pivot from where I started in #biologics and #pharmaceuticals. #recruiters, #HR, #corporations & #companies truly need to take into account that having #disabilityawareness and #disabilitysupport helps maintain excellent employees who may need more #flexibility in #workinghours, #breaktime, and potential #leave to treat their #healthconcerns so that they CAN #returntowork... or at the very least, #parttimework and #workfromanywhere should be offered and discussed with the #employee BEFORE giving the "#resign or be #fired" ultimatum. So... with that said, I am #opentowork in an array of #positions, but ONLY within companies who will provide the #resources, #understanding, #compassionateleadership, and #disabilitysupport to everyone who may need it. Remember, #hiringmanagers and #teamleaders, there is a #reason you selected this person to work for you. #equalityatwork #equalityforall and #equitydiversityinclusion are important aspects of bringing #brilliantminds in your doors... keep them there. #endthestigma #disabilityisnotinability
