In this episode, Shawn sits down with Jill, a recent Master’s graduate in book publishing, to share her firsthand experiences navigating the job search. Jill opens up about the obstacles she faced, including a disheartening instance of discrimination during a job interview. She also offers valuable advice and tips for blind or partially sighted job seekers, urging employers to focus on potential rather than misconceptions. This episode is a must-listen for anyone passionate about workplace inclusivity or seeking inspiration to overcome barriers in their own job hunt!
