Does Amazon hire handicapped?

Hi I’m 45 and disabled I had a stroke in 2007 I’m very smart I’ve worked in the medical field as a phlebotomist , I’ve sold time share , I’ve done customer service, I’ve done accounts receivable and payables , I am very detail oriented and very dependable I work hard and learn quickly! Nobody will give me a job because they take one look at my walker and think I’m slow too ! I can’t work in an office any longer because I’m in so much pain and can not stand for long periods of time . I’m barely by y on the tiny bit of disability they pay me monthly I need a way to supplement my income badly! I need someone to just take a chance on me ! I have to live to ! I can not make it much longer living like this please someone give me a job I’m begging you !! Thank you !

I’ve been on disability for 16 years due to 2 automobile accidents, 1 nearly fatal. I had to let go of my business due to some physical limitations that would’ve interfered with the proper care of my clients. I have been looking for part time work since but, can’t seem to get my foot in the door for any employment. I’m not lazy & very much a go getter!! I need to find extra work to aid my disability pay, it is not enough to survive on. I am a college graduate with an A.S. Degree. I can do anything I put my mind to. This is an everyday search for me but, I will NOT give up!

So I worked for NCR for 1 1/2 years. Loved fixing atm machines as I have an electronics background. But back issues from the military made work slightly difficult, always bending, twisting, contorting, lifting parts fixing the machines. The company had great health insurance so I opted for laser back surgery to fix my issue. The surgery was supposed to have me out only 6 weeks but was extended to 12 to ensure full healing. The day I came back to work, I was called into a hotel conf room and asked to explain where over $50,000 total had gone missing from multiple banks. I explained I had no clue as I had a good job, disability from the VA, and my wife worked so money wasn't an issue. I asked for video proof as ALL atm machines have cameras, to which the investigator replied, "Don't worry, I do my job very well". Was terminated the next day but no charges were ever filed, which tells me they had nothing because stealing from a bank is a federal crime and always prosecuted. My opinion is that they fired me due to excess time off to recover (a coworker had warned me that would happen also).

Here is the dilemma, now that I am graduating with my Bachelors in Oct, I am already looking to reinsert myself into the work force. Do I list NCR on my resume? If so, how do I go about explaining the circumstances of my termination? I know employers are not legally allowed to tell other people bad stuff from your employment, but I also know it happens.

Thanks for any advice, especially from any HR type people who have hands in hiring.

I got Unfairly dismissed , because of a disagreement with another Co-Worker, who should never have been Involved in the first place, who is always involving themselves in situations that they don't belong in, and with no witnesses, and who also lied in the statement that they provided. I am 60 years of age and been in full -time employment since the age of 16 years old. I have always been a loyal employee, and never been Terminated from any job in my Life. This hurts badly, and has put me at an all time LOW. But I still get up each morning, trying to find work, Still Applying including looking to Diverse into a new role if need. On top of all this as well as other medical issues, I am not able to list as disable, even although the max I can lift is 25 lbs, due to an USA doctor making a mistake in a knee replacement, which cause me 14 months later to have another replacement on the same leg. The weight restriction is not due to the joint, its because of the surrounding trauma. So I have already had to diversify from my original Career, which was hands on, in the field and physically demanding. But regardless of the applied position it always states experience required, with Physical lifting ability is 50 lbs being the norm. My last position I was able to get without knowing anything about HVAC and other office duties, this was due to knowing and referenced by another employee. But trying to get an employer in todays market to give you that chance is hard???. This sucks when all you want to do is work and get a job..to Live and Provide. The sad thing about this is that the person who caused it, has left the company and moved on to another position !!! with no remorse or guilt about their actions.

Able-Disabled Advocacy’s (A-DA’s) IT Pre-Apprenticeship Program is a training, certification and employment program that is designed for individuals who have identified their passion for technology and desire to pursue an IT career. Students learn basic technical support skills and attain IT certifications that are demanded by local employers, all at little or no cost. With A-DA’s $3.2 million grant from the U.S. Department of Labor, the training is free and the cost of the exams for two certifications will be paid by the program. During the 8-month program, students attain their CompTIA A+, Network+ and Security+ certifications while attending classes two days each week. This full-time program is demanding; 20 hours of study each week is expected. Stu-dents are required to pass their certification exams by the exam due dates in order to complete the program on schedule.

Pre-Apprenticeships Offer a Pathway to A-DA’s Apprenticeship Program Pre-apprenticeship training is not paid. Students will need a source of income that will allow them to complete the entire Pre-Apprenticeship Program. The program includes career counseling, interview and resume preparation, and job search tips. This training will prepare pre-apprentices to enter A-DA’s IT Registered Apprenticeship Program. A-DA staff will work directly with pre-apprentices to identify employment opportunities that will fulfill the requirements of A-DA’s Computer Support Specialist apprenticeships. Pre-Apprentices will apply for jobs with staff assistance and once hired, they will be placed into A-DA’s Computer Support Specialist Registered Apprenticeship Program. Apprenticeships are a “learn while you earn” model; apprentices learn while working On-the-Job in the IT industry with guidance from a committed employer. To further improve skills, the technical training continues during the apprenticeship, with apprentices continuing to work on attaining the Windows 7 certifications. Apprentices can build a successful IT career without incurring student debt. This alternative to college provides a pathway to be successful in high-skilled, high-paying jobs that are in demand.

I've had Parkinson Disease for about 2 and half years. People can tell that I have PD except when they see my hands shaking from time to time, but mostly when I to do any hand writing which is getting worse. So when I fill out an application the question is " do I have a disability?" do I mark "Yes" or "No". I feel that if I mark yes, I will have no chance at getting a job. Anyone else have this problem?

All the best Russell! https://mypositiveoutlooks.com/mcdonalds-worker-with-down-syndrome-retires-after-bringing-smiles-to-customers-faces-for-32-years/?fbclid=IwAR0INETz3kQY43KKpi29iB9kqIXdrczE32KFF3w98R7opJo8GXJRkzkYxoY

I had an accident at home about two years ago and my left leg was amputated. I healed just fine and I’m doing good now but I want to get back into trucking. Can I do it since I am missing a leg? Anyone know how I can do this? Thank you!

I came off active duty for the Navy in Sept. 2017 I was supposed to be brought back to my old job but they told me it was gone. I am no longer employed there. I have a B.S. in ORG. Management. I have over 10 yrs sales experience I was a tradesman, a foreman, a supervisor, and list goes on. I have held short term jobs since then painting a handyman stuff. I have applied to over 1300 jobs on line. I have only had two careers my whole life so I am being told I am over qualified or not recommended for job. I am a disabled veteran status but can work doing almost any job. I was told I have preference for jobs but I am not seeing. Being a supervisor I have been thorough in my endeavor but I am not getting results. Does anyone or company out there need a go to guy for a job?
