EVERYONE IS HANDICAP!

This is the point where i need to remind you that everyone looking for work is handicapped. What! well sure. As we have seen, a real handicap means dis - ability: there are some things a person does not have the ability to do. To see what that means here, lets start with how many skills there are, in the whole world. Nobody knows the numbers, so lets make one up. Lets say there are 4,341 transferable skills in the world. How many of the 4,3411 do you think the average person has? say an average person has 1,341 skills. That's alot. That would be 1,341 things the average person can do.

But 4,341 skills in all the world minus 1,341 that average person has leaves 3,000 things the average person cant do. Ofcourse, what those 3,000 things will very from person to person. But, in the end, everybody is handicapped. Everybody.

So when you go job- hunting, if you have a real handicap, but it doesn't keep you from performing the tasks in the job or career you are targeting, what's so special about your handicap, compared with others? The answer is nothing.

Unless - unless - you are so disheartened by the fact that you are handicap, and so focused on what you cant do, that you have forgotten all the things you can do.

unless you are thinking of all the reasons why employers might not want to hire you, instead of all the reasons why employers would be lucky to get you.

Unless you are going about your job - hunt feeling like a job - beggar rather than standing tall to offer yourself a a helpful resource for this employer.
