Use social media channels and groups to spread the word about your job search.
The more people know you’re looking, the more support you’ll receive.
Connect with Inclusive Employers
- When you see a job posting, research the company’s inclusion efforts.
- Follow their LinkedIn pages and engage with their content (like, comment, share).
- After applying, send a short message to the recruiter or HR representative introducing yourself and expressing interest.
Stay Active and Visible
- Check the job board regularly for new postings.
- Keep your resume updated—employers notice active job seekers.
- Sign up for job alerts to stay ahead of new opportunities.
Join Webinars, Workshops, or Online Communities
Many Able & Available partners host events on inclusive employment, resume writing, and interview prep.
- Attending these not only improves your skills but also expands your professional network.
- Don’t be afraid to introduce yourself and connect with other participants afterward.
Follow Up Professionally
After an interview or networking chat:
- Send a thank-you email to express appreciation.
- Reiterate your interest and mention something memorable from your conversation.
Remember — Inclusion Works Both Ways
Networking isn’t just about getting hired; it’s about finding workplaces that value your strengths.
Ask questions about accessibility, inclusion practices, and accommodations during your conversations.
