Help for visually impaired offered by on-line mentors

The Canadian National Institute for the Blind has joined forces with the American Foundation for the Blind to create MentorMatch -- an on-line service that pairs blind or visually impaired jobseekers with people like them who are currently employed in their desired field of employment.

More than 1,000 mentors are available across Canada and the U.S. Through e-mail and discussion forums, job seekers can talk about applying for jobs, interview techniques, and how to overcome first-day jitters.

They can also learn about overcoming hurdles with respect to employers' attitudes towards vision impairment.

To participate, go to http://www.careerconnect.org/cnib.
