Disability Employment! There is still a lot of work to do!
Key Statistics (as of February 2025):
- Employment-Population Ratio: In 2024, the employment-population ratio for people with disabilities was 22.7%. This means that roughly 22.7% of the population with disabilities was employed. In contrast, the employment-population ratio for those without disabilities was significantly higher at 65.5%.
Many of us working in the disability employment field are working hard to increase this percentage. IMO education and skill development are key factors. All those who want to work should be able to. #AWU #disability #jobs

Hello. My name is Basit Shoeb and I am an ACCA student. during my graduation i am struggling with my Financial Expenses. I have done 2 jobs as an Administrative Assistant and have more than 1.8 Years experience in this field. Currently i am looking for a better opportunity in this field. So i have given many interviews. But ended up as a Failure. Many companies said that they are appointing me but they ignored after that. Many tried to scam me saying that they are sending me a Laptop or Working equipment so I have to pay for it. But there are many honest companies. Who just Declined giving me different reasons like The Positions are full, I'm not perfect according to their Requirements and They can't hire me because of the Location. I live in Pakistan and works from home. I need some Advices and Ideas so i can find a job for me. Thank you for everyone who gave time to my post and Thanks is advance if someone gives me good advice or good platform to apply or find a job

"Job Search Tip"
Red Flag Buzzwords in a job description!
"Must Be Available to Work Flexible Hours"
Those words usually mean that there is No Work-Life Balance!
You will get called,emailed, and or texted anytime and you should be ready. “Flexible hours” often equates to late nights of work, texting over weekends, and random tasks blowing up your life on a moment’s notice. Beware! If a company can’t define clear working hours, it probably doesn’t respect boundaries.
If you see these words in a job description at your interview you should address them for your own benefit. #AWU #disability #jobs
