JOB OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE

BLIND

Did you know a blind person can be a successful

trucker, hauling potatoes in an 18-wheel rig, or an elementary teacher, teaching

handwriting to sighted children, or a clinical dietitian, or a computer programmer? How do

they do it? Listen to blind Americans talking about their jobs, on your FREE copy of the

"1997 National Job Seminar," available only on 2-track audiocassette from Job

Opportunities for the Blind (J.O.B.), a service of the National Federation of the Blind,

in partnership with the U.S. Department of Labor. Anyone who is legally blind and a U.S.

resident, looking for work in the United States, is eligible for the J.O.B. program.

Services are available to agencies, individuals assisting blind job seekers, and employers

interested in hiring competent blind workers.

Does a blind person need a college degree, in

order to get a decent job? J.O.B. offers a new audio publication, titled: "Jobs Blind

People are Doing With a High School Education or Less" (2-track, two cassettes/set).

Do you need a FREE subscription to the
only recorded job magazine in the United States? THE JOB BULLETIN, an audio
cassette magazine published by J.O.B., comes out every six weeks. Request the
"J.O.B. Sample Pack." Everything is FREE from J.O.B. Write: J.O.B.,
