Willing and Able: A Job Hunting Guide for Montanans with Disabilities

The Montana Department of Labor & Industry today announced
the release of Willing & Able: A Job Hunting Guide for Montanans with
Disabilities, a newly updated publication produced by Montana’s Career
Resource Network, in cooperation with the Montana Department of Public
Health and Human Services.

Specifically tailored to meet the needs of job seekers with
disabilities, Willing & Able guides readers through each step of the job
hunting process, from identifying potential employers to preparing for
that all-important interview. The guide provides users with proven
strategies to highlight their assets and abilities, and to market them
to potential employers. It also helps users understand their rights
under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and provides a list of
resources, including contact information for agencies that can assist
them in their job search.

Department of Labor and Industry
