Rose76,
I am so sorry and truly empathize. My story is similar to yours, in a way.

I tried getting a very simple job through Goodwill. I was very surprised at the way I was treated. I have lots of experience and would be a good attribute.

My issue with them is that they are well known generally for being an organization that helps those w/ disabilities.

They had a job posting at my local job service for a donations sorter--a perfect way for me to get back into the work force.

The application process was all online. I'd tried to apply for the same position last year at x-mas time and had trouble with their website for applying. I had this confirmed by the employees at the store who said that the application website was difficult at times.

This time around I really struggled again with the application process. I called the supervisor, said I was having difficulties and that I'd be an asset for them. I asked if I could walk in with a generic application and my resume in person. I was told the only way I could apply was online.

So what about people who have no computers, no computer skills, or are like me and have a lot of trouble w/ computers from lack of formal training?

What about disabled people with severe cognitive impairments that keep them from applying online?

Is this really Goodwill industries? If so, do I want to work for them anyway?

I really thought that they would be the answer for me because of my mental health history, the fact I need to begin working again and that they advertise so much about helping people with disabilities.

I wish you luck Rose76 in pursuing a different avenue. I know something will come along for you.
