discriminated against for my disability but I have no way of proving it.All I need is a chance to get my foot in the door of a job and truthfully i'm becoming very depressed for not having found a job.And I just don't know what to to.I would appreciate any feedback on this and what I could do to possibly get a job. Thank you.

I agree that it is hard for someone with an obvious disability to get gainful employment. But you don't go into any qualifications you may have or what you have done in the past if anything. So be strong and don't give up...or into the game of pity. Show these employers you have what it takes don't just take no for an answer....ask if you can come in on a volunteer basis and prove you are worthy..... Good Luck

First, you need to stop playing the victim. If you presented to me the same attitude you have in this statement, I would not hire you. I suggest you do some online research to see which companies have a reputation for hiring the disabled in your area. The American Cancer Society is hiring nationwide, and they pay well. You need to research jobs before you apply for them. Tailor your resume to fit EACH JOB and always submit a cover letter and put references ON your resume.
