NOTE: I’m profoundly deaf and my native language is American Sign Language. I’m however fluent in written English so I’m able to communicate in any non-verbal channel. If verbal communication is necessary, it’s easy (and free) for me to bring in virtual interpreter to support with the call. Due to being deaf, it’s been incredibly challenging for me to find a job in where the employer is comfortable with me being deaf. The company I work for (ExitGuide) ran out of funds and wasn’t able to secure further investments, so as a result I was given notice that April 7th is my last day of work at the company. I’m seriously anxious and worried because I’m a single dad raising two kids aged 10 and 8 on his own. I’m okay until the end of May thanks to savings and will try to stretch it with help of unemployment benefits, then beyond that, I don’t know. I’m not posting that sob story to guilt trip others into hiring me (although I wouldn’t object to a solid job), I only mention it because I sincerely would welcome advice and tips from those who have been in my position before, so please feel free to email them my way.
