In 2007 RNIB, as part of the Visage project, launched 'Job Search: The Real Story'. The publication was a toolkit for blind and partially sighted jobseekers, facilitators and employers.
The toolkit aims to enable blind and partially sighted job seekers to develop a variety of skills to help them get into work. The toolkit specifically addresses the needs of blind and partially sighted people. Issues such as confidence, body language and visual presentation are all covered in an appropriate and sensitive manner.
The toolkit is made up of five modules:
-
Module one: Who am I?
-
Module two: Making yourself more marketable
-
Module three: Cracking the interview code
-
Module four: Facts at your fingertips
-
Module five: Overcoming obstacles.
