Job search tips for people with disabilities | Hosted by Handshake

Lime Connect’s experts share guidance on networking, accessing accommodations, and more to help you succeed in the job search.

During peak fall recruitment season, not-for-profit organization Lime Connect joined Handshake to share tips and resources for student job seekers with visible and invisible disabilities. Lime Connect supports, prepares, and connects high-achieving professionals and university students—including veterans—who have all types of disabilities for scholarships, leadership programs, internships, and full-time careers with leading employers.

During the virtual session, Lime Connect’s Senior Engagement Manager, Alissa Brower, shared invaluable insights about:

  • making the most of networking opportunities
  • recognizing roles and companies that meet your individual needs
  • making informed decisions about disclosures throughout the hiring process

You can access the full session recording below to get even more insights from Alissa about navigating fall recruitment with a disability. For those who would benefit from closed captions, simply pause the video and click the CC button at the bottom right-hand corner for the video to enable them. After watching, let us know what you thought with a post on the Handshake feed —we’d love to read your favorite takeaways and answer follow-up questions from the event!

If you are a student with a disability, you can join the Lime Community for free to build a network of other aspiring professionals with disabilities, receive 1:1 career coaching, and access resources and events to help you throughout your career.
