Finding Work When You're Disabled

Thanks for writing, Holly. Since I'm not sure what you mean by slightly handicapped, I don't know how much assistance you need to give her, but I'll take a stab here at some general advice for her and others who are handicapped or disabled.

While there are a few sites on the Web for disabled workers -- there is a list of them at this section of Quintessential Careers: Career Resources for Disabled-Amercans -- I think your best bet is looking in the phone book for your community's social service organizations and contacting them about programs for your sister.

You could also conduct a job search for your sister, much as you would for yourself.
If your sister lives in or near a major metropolitan area, there are probably several large employers that you should target for your sister. Once you have identified the companies, contact the human resource offices and see about job openings, and if necessary for her particular handicap, whether they participate in offering jobs for individuals with her handicap.
