Webinar: Your Pathway to Employment–The Job Interview January 25, 2017 | 3:00 PM - 4:00 PM EST. Job interviews can be intimidating when you’re living with a spinal cord injury or disorder (SCI/D). What do you do if the interviewer offers a hand to shake your hand and you have limited arm movement? How do you convey your skills and qualifications to an interviewer who is not accustomed to working with people with disabilities? How do you answer questions the interviewer is not supposed to ask? This webinar provides strategies for answering these and other questions that emerge from job interviews for people with SCI/D.
