From Applications to Interviews: Employment Coaching for Individuals with Disabilities

 

Securing meaningful employment can feel overwhelming, particularly for individuals with disabilities. Whether you're just starting your career or looking to advance in your current field, employment coaching can make a significant difference. At Ability Avenue Coaching, we offer comprehensive employment coaching that covers every stage of the job search process.

 

Our coaching begins with skill identification. We help you to identify your strengths, passions, challenges, and figure out the type of work that can set you up for success and fulfillment. From then, we identify potential employers and move onto resume development, where we help clients craft resumes that highlight their unique strengths and experiences. We understand the challenges that individuals with disabilities may face when presenting their skills to potential employers, and we work to ensure that each resume reflects the client’s capabilities in the best possible light.

 

Next, we focus on interview preparation. Interviews can be stressful, especially when navigating questions about accommodations or past job experiences. Our mock interview sessions provide clients with the opportunity to practice responding to common interview questions, learn techniques for discussing their disability confidently, and refine their communication skills.

 

We also offer coaching on job retention and long-term career development. Finding a job is only the first step—thriving in the workplace and growing in your career requires ongoing support. We equip clients with strategies for effective communication with supervisors, managing workplace relationships, and addressing challenges proactively.
