Career Services

Individual Career Counseling

Our professional counselor meets with you individually to help you determine the career path that will best meet your goals. We will help you clarify your options, set your career goal and identify the path that will get you there. You will be taught how to build a strong network and equipped with the tools to manage your own job search. Contact Lauri Dishman at 312-236-8569 to schedule an appointment or for more information.

Professional Development

Small group workshops are offered throughout the year to enhance your job search.  Topics include resume development, job searching online, organizational skills and interviewing skills. See the list of upcoming workshops to view the schedule for Professional Developments Workshops or contact Lauri Dishman at 312-236-8569 for more information.

CEO-Creating Employment Opportunities

Our CEO program provides the open and supportive structure of a job club. You will not only learn the most contemporary job search strategies like building a professional network, presenting yourself at interviews and disclosing your disability to employers, you will also have a safe place to comfortably and candidly discuss the realities of identifying as a professional with vision loss. The effective and relevant career planning provided at Second Sense will help you move forward and face the job search process with greater confidence and success.
