I don't understand about the hearing bosses for deaf people

[NightClever10]

I don't understand about the hearing bosses refused to accept deaf to take a job, because I heard some of my friends tried to take jobs but those bosses said no, because they're deaf, huh? They had no right to say no because of deaf reasons. Sometimes, I've felt that the hearing bosses are against deaf people, perhaps because deaf people are goofy, stupid, wild, and etc. But in fact: deaf aren't stupid. I love to being deaf. But actually, I'm hard of hearing. So anyway, gimme good reason why the bosses refused accept deaf people when they want to take jobs. I've noticed so many deaf people got cheap jobs, you know work in fast food restaurant, publix, and etc. I've always wondering why don't they take a serious job and good money, but...I don't understand. I'm just confused. Will you example it to me very clearly?

I agree with you. Been to numerous interviews for professional positions (graphic design, dekstop publishing, copyrighting, administration, etc) where the interviewer would ask me if my hearing will affect my ability to do the job. I know they have the right to ask such question, but it can also be very demoralising. Its like asking a person who wears glasses whether their eyesight will affect their ability to do the job, which I am sure is a question that is not asked in most interviews.

So, yeah, when the interviewer asks questions in relation to my hearing, I know I am not going to get the job. I guess thats why my self-esteem was crushed.

One day I decided to quit all my crappy jobs and go back to school... I don't study much, yet my teachers recognise my skills and abilities, and to date, nobody has ever questioned my hearing. I earn far less money now (crappy job paid well), but I feel far better today. And, I know my life is progressing now, because as well as school, I also have a casual jobs for a mortgage broking firm, as well as casual work at my school. I'd rather be happy than to be stuck in an area where I feel I am an outcast to society.

2 words - discrimination lawsuit Say those 2 words to that boss and he will tremble in his knees.

I think it is three possibilities (and maybe including more than one of the three)

1. Actual discrimination
2. Not wanting to put up with extra 'hassle' or liability (training, assistance, etc)
3. True limitations in the job description (it actually does require you to hear). I think this is often the least likely, but still possible.

it's awfully hard to prove someone discriminated in hiring. unless they said, "we won't hire you because you're deaf" and you have a witness to that, good luck. hiring is a judgment call. no one but the person in charge of hiring knows the reasons for their decision.

yup pretty much. if the hiring manager (not the boss who approves the hiring process) is willing to risk his/her career by telling you that the boss is being discriminant, then you win. Other way is to establish the patterns of him hiring/firing specific applicants. but........ yea awfully hard.

One thing I have been told about jobs is do not 'beg' or seem desperate for a job. It is not so much about you needing the job, but the job needing YOU.

If you are not confident, and able to 'sell' yourself to the job, no matter what your 'limitation' is, chances are you will not get it, especially if it is a significant position.

Why do I worry over Deaf ED?

It is so hard for the Deaf to compete in the job market. That is why I wanted to advocate for better education,, better accomodation, and better laws to protect the Deaf in the workplace.

I have a few Deaf people that I love dearly. They are some of the smartest, most educated people I know. They are funny, loving and caring. They put most hearing people I know to shame, because they have lived through hell and climbed up, tooth and nail to where they are. These are my treasured Deaf friends. I would rather hang out with them for a few hours, than to hang with the hearing folks that are asking for my time.

I was thinking that if I ever win the lottery, I will start a business for green energy. I will put every Deaf person that wants to work to work - with good wages and benefits with a chance for advancement. Why? Because the Deaf people I know, ,,, they beat the odds every freeeekin day. They grow up fighting the odds.. And, because the ones I know,, are just the best.. But hey... I am the lucky one to have had the chance to know some wondeful Deaf folks -- to have been invited into their homes and to game night.. to get to know their kids, some hearing some not,,, some of their friends,, some hearing some not.. I got to see the best of all worlds,,, I was lucky ...

But ya know what? MOST hearies never get lucky enough to be invited into your world..... They never get to understand your issues or problems............ They never get to watch you interact with your children... They never get to know how capable and trustworthy you are..But why??????????? Help me to answer that question and to find a way to bridge that gap, and I will die a happy granny. God Bless....
