In the last few years, finding work has become even more of a challenge for people who are unemployed. I remember when my now-wife was laid off early in our relationship and how she struggled to find a new job, even though she was highly educated and had several years of work experience. After witnessing her job search, I assumed I would struggle to find work.
At the time, I’d recently left an ultra-Orthodox Jewish community with no professional work experience and only a second-grade education and GED under my belt. Once I started to apply for jobs, I realized I’d grossly underestimated how difficult it would be to find work as a person with a physical disability and a lack of traditional education and work experience.
Many companies will judge intelligence and capability by the level of education you’ve received or the amount of work experience you have.
