Are you a person with a disability in the United States? Disability Solutions wants to hear about your job search and work experiences. Take the 2027 Disability at Work Survey today.
Job loss creates immediate financial pressure, but for disabled job seekers, that pressure is often compounded by inaccessible hiring systems, complex benefits rules, and fewer flexible job options.
A lot of hiring happens through relationships—conversations, referrals, and internal recommendations—often before a role is widely advertised. That’s why learning to use the connections you already have can be one of the most practical (and empowering) job search strategies available.
Staying “career-ready” doesn’t mean always applying, networking nonstop, or endlessly up-skilling. It means setting up light, repeatable habits that keep your resume current, your skills relevant, and your relationships warm—while still leaving room for rest, access needs, and real life.
