Try contacting your states vocational rehabilitation service office and applulying. I applied in Michigan, and they are helping me train for my career goal. Its quite easy. Ask your local Department of Human Services about any programs in your state.

If all else fails, walmart. Ok benifits, and ok pay.

Hello Roy, first and foremost I'm sorry to hear about your stroke, but I'm happy that you're getting the courage to get back on your feet. I believe that you should contact the HR department to each of those companies. That is the exact definition of discrimination, those companies should have policies going against the reason they aren't hiring you. Do you have the name of the companies or contact numbers? Research and possibly a lawyer. Wish you the best towards your journey to the workforce.

Sorry to hear that Roy. Sad thing is you are probably better than most candidates, never judge a book by its cover is such a true saying! I pray something will come your way soon. We all know the job hunt is a grueling process and can take forever. Though I am not disabled I am going through the same with the job search. Keep your head up big dog!

Try applying for one of those state programs for disabled people. Also, have you ever thought about running your own business. Tax season is approaching. Take a tax course either with one of those big tax companies, like Liberty or H&R Block, or take one online. Then register with the IRS to run your own tax business from your own home. It costs very little to start up, and you can make a decent amount of money this tax season. If taxes aren't your thing, how about tutoring children or giving lessons in something you are good at. That's also something you can do right from your own home. You will probably even make more money than you would working for a big company. I make a lot more money running my own tax business than I did when I worked for one of those big tax companies. You don't need to be college-educated to do this. You not need to have any special titles, either.

Have you tried some of the work from opportunities??? A few reputable companies are Arise.com and Amazon.com They pay about 12 to 15 dollars per hour.

Most likely you are being discriminated against. However, your chances of having enough evidence to win a court case is about, oh, maybe SLIM to NONE!

Keep a journal of the employer information including name and position of person and their feed back to you and comments because you may need to file a discrimination suit with the labor department. You do have a valid claim especially since you are feeling uneasy about the interview(s). Listen to your gut instinct. That's your spirit sending you a red flag of warning that will not only help you but help others who are disabled that are in the same fight of discrimination. Be at ease, For God is on your side and he will get you to that right employer with much more to offer. You are blessed despite your circumstances so Don't Give Up! Just remember those employers who looked down on you missed their blessing of what you can contribute to their company and others.

All these people saying to sue. Just because you don't get the job does not mean it's because your in a wheelchair. It's a hard job market right now. You would need some one to flat out say it was because you were in a wheelchair to have any case. Instead just keep at it you will find something. Breaks in work history are also a hard obstacle to overcome.

Well Roy you are probably right. The problem with that is it's very hard to prove and the only way I can think that you're being discriminated for sure is an audio recording of someone talking about it. I can't think of any other way. And if you were to take it to court, I don't think an attorney will work on a case that's an assumption. I hate to say that but you are probably right about that it happens more than anybody knows it's just hard to prove like I said
