In today’s competitive job market, having a strong resume can be the key to opening doors of opportunity, especially for the Deaf community, who often face additional barriers in employment. At Accessifiers, we recognize the importance of equipping our graduates with the tools they need to succeed. That’s why our recent Resume-Building Workshop for two groups of Deaf graduates was such a meaningful step forward.
The workshop covered everything from the importance of a well-crafted resume to what to include and avoid in the resume. Participants also engaged in hands-on activities, where they worked on their resumes in real time, receiving personalized feedback and guidance from our facilitators.
One of the participants shared their thoughts:
"This workshop helped me about tips for more encouragement in job searching and gave me examples for a resume. I learned new skills and how to write my resume."
Another participant expressed how the workshop helped them:
"The workshop is good for helping people with disabilities who aren't accepted for jobs. I improved my understanding of what’s right or wrong in a resume and learned how to fix it. The tips on finding a company quickly and easily were very helpful for people with disabilities."
This Resume-Building Workshop is part of Accessifiers’ broader mission to empower individuals with disabilities, giving them the skills and confidence to take charge of their careers. Thanks to this program, many of our Deaf graduates now feel better equipped to enter the workforce, knowing their resumes represent them in the best possible way.
The success of this workshop wouldn’t have been possible without the support of our sponsors and donors. With your continued help, we can offer more sessions like these, ensuring that every individual with a disability has the chance to shine in their job search.
