In celebration of the 75th anniversary of National Disability Employment Awareness Month, Robert Levy of the UC Davis MIND Institute shares what he enjoys about... his job and tips for job seekers. Finding jobs during the current public health crisis can be difficult, but we are encouraged by the positive outcomes we hear from self-advocates who never give up! If you've found any good resources for people with disabilities who are searching for a job opportunity, please share by commenting on this video. We've found some excellent resources from the Campaign for Disability Employment's website at https://www.whatcanyoudocampaign.org/. You can find in-depth information and a blog which features a wide range of perspectives from leaders on disability and employment issues. #NDEAM2020 #WorkItCA #NDEAM
