My Job Search: A Story of Solidarity in the Disability Community
By Guest Blogger Lindsey Teel, Policy Advisor, Office of Disability Employment Policy at the U.S. Department of Labor
If you asked me about my future career plans when I was younger, I would have told you I wanted to be a sociology professor. This was my goal because as a person with a disability, albeit a disability that may be hard to detect, I often felt like an outsider and found it easier to analyze social dynamics rather than actually participate in social life. Thus, I majored in the study of human interaction. Following college, I applied to graduate schools to continue my career pursuits, submitting a personal statement that described how I had overcome a visual impairment and become a better person because of it. However, since I graduated in December and had to wait to begin graduate school the next fall, I followed my best friend to Washington, D.C., to intern for our hometown Congressman in the interim.
