Answer 1

GOVERNMENT HAVE GIVEN 1% RESERVATION FOR PEOPLE LIKE YOU.

Answer 2

You can do many jobs. The only ones I would not advise are ones with much customer contact, or telephone job, or where you might meet people with lots of foreign accents.

It would be easiest to get a job with paperwork or with computers. That way, the hearing/speaking is not an issue.
Or, get a job in schools as teacher's aide with hearing-impaired kids, if that's an area of your interest.

With Section 504 of the Americans with Disabilities Act, your employer needs to make reasonable accommodations for you to be able to do any job you are trained for & are good in.

Just look for jobs like anyone else. Places like Resources for Independent Living (RIL) may be helpful, as well as any local Center for the Deaf, if there is one in your town.

Answer 3

1. Jobs in very noisy locations, where the disability is actually an advantage.

2. Jobs which involve only written communication. Checking accounts: document auditing, courier activities and such.

3. Jobs with companies producing aids for the hearing impaired.

Answer 4

See if your college can help you, even though you have graduated. If you are not completely reliant on sign language and can lipread, you should be able to do a lot of business jobs, but the challenge will be getting past people's initial reactions. The reason for going through the college is that they can hold that initial discussion with the employers, making it easier for you to get past human resources and the interviewers.
