[H251]Help Find A Job

by Alison White, Ali

In 2004 there were currently 7 million disabled people of employment age in the UK, but less than 3.5 million of them are working.
Seventy-percent of working age Americans with disabilities are unemployed. Finding jobs is not easy.
A number of not-for-profit organizations are trying to help. They advised employers to be more open-minded about disabled people.
Rodbourne based “Working for Opportunities" (WfO) says preconception makes life hard for people like Rebecca Davies that has Asperger's Syndrome. She works as a steward at the County Ground. The interview process disadvantages her although Rebecca has a wide range of skills that get interviews. She thinks her disability usually gives a false impression of her. Rebecca compares the formal interview with a climb on Mount Everest.
"I am very good at learning new things and I like following clear instructions and procedures shown to me by an understanding person who is patient and doesn't mind answering my questions.
"I am hard-working, punctual, and friendly with good observation skills that could benefit a company within the security sector or involved with quality testing. I have been a football steward for three years and am used to reacting and communicate in sometimes difficult circumstances in a calm and responsible manner."
"I would like someone to trust me sufficiently to give me a reasonable work trial to prove my capabilities in filling a known or planned vacancy."
The positive side of people with Asperger's Syndrome is that they make good employees. In the workplace people with Asperger's Syndrome like structure and routine in employment, are punctual, can work alone, are meticulous, pay great attention to detail, take pride in their work, and can handle repetitive tasks.
More agencies need to focus their attention on Asperger Syndrome and on ways of assisting people find employment.

Credit History Checks By Employers and Service Providers

The implications of having a bad credit score are dire - it could lead getting turned down for new employment. If your credit score is bad enough, employers - especially in the financial industry - will feel comfortable hiring you.

You may hit a ceiling on your employment opportunities as a result of poor credit. As the number of employers increasing their use of credit background checks increases, the number of jobs you can realistically hope to be employed at drops. Your bad credit could one day prevent you from getting your dream job.

The use of credit score as a determining factor in offering services is also an increasing trend. For instance, insurance service providers can use credit score as a factor in deciding whether to insure you or not, and how much the premiums will cost.

Credit Repair

Upon completion of a credit score repair by a professional service, your credit score will be much more likely to pass inspection by an employee background check. You won't have to worry about getting stuck with mediocre jobs because of employer mistrust due to a bad credit score.

After getting your credit repaired you won't have to worry about all of the things associated with bad credit - rejection from employers, being turned down by health care providers, or losing out to another candidate with good credit in your bid for new employment.

Use your higher credit score to get a refinance on your high-interest rate loans (car loans, mortgages, or get your debt consolidated). By doing so you'll save thousands of dollars in interest charges that would otherwise go into the pocketbooks of banks or credit card companies.

Some may balk at paying a fee to get credit scores improved. Put it in perspective: you're paying as much as the fee to get your credit score repaired to lenders or credit cards in terms of interest. If you have high interest rates on loans then the money that could be going to get your credit report repaired is simply going into the wallets of banks and credit card companies. With a higher credit score you can pursue lower interest rates and end up saving hundreds or thousands of dollars.
