Seeking Employment Options with POTS: Need Advice

I'm working at a box office for a theater!Usually folks in liberal arts are understanding. Definitely check city jobs if you have municipal theaters near you!

I am in IT. Typically my jobs are as developer. Web development for the last 20 years. When i got POTz, i switched tk working from home under ADA. Why do you think you cant get a remote job. Nowadays a bachelors in CS is more than adequate. Meanwhile check out slme jobbing websites like indeed.com and Dice.come

Job recommendations: Drive through worker/ fast food (can most of the time request a stool to sit at to take orders) Some warehouse jobs Secretary/receptionist work Personal assistant(depending on what they need) I hope you can find a CS job, as I know how hard it is to find engineering jobs right now.

Have you looked at jobs that require you to work from home or only need you to come in occasionally? Computer science seems like a career that should have online/work-from-home careers but I’m not too familiar with the area tbh! I don’t know jobs within your field, but I did this with Data-entry. However, instead of finding a job that fits your disability’s needs first and your wants second, it’s important that you find a job that suits you as an individual and that you want to do; maybe even, think about your career. Then, think about requesting and receiving your accommodations. You should be happy doing a job you enjoy and want to continue doing, not having to worry about receiving the proper accommodations. If you are in the US, the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Rehabilitation Act, guarantee you “reasonable accommodations for the known physical or mental limitations.” From my understanding, short breaks or whatever accommodation you require to lessen symptoms should not be unreasonable, in most scenarios. It says that “unless doing so would impose an undue hardship on the operation of the employer's business, ” so with that in in mind, just avoid jobs that require you get up and down a lot (ie, mechanic requires you to get up and down a lot so avoiding this trigger would be unreasonable.) Possibly, apply to jobs explicitly stating your disability and needed accommodations before or during the hiring process to ensure the company is able to work within your accommodations. If you’re unsure about how to approach it, look for a disability advocate or even a lawyer in your area that may be willing to help you with the laws surrounding disability and possibly represent you if needed, to ensure your right for accommodations as a disabled person. Many advocates work for non-profit organizations and you may have a specific local disability advocacy organization in your state or region. I know this is probably not the answer you were looking for and isn’t any specific job but I hope it’s still somewhat useful on your quest for a job! Good luck!

Can you sit up for any length of time longer? If so, you could get a doctor to prescribe you a wheelchair. That might help with jobs because they wouldn't have to provide you with a chair, and it would be more obvious they're descriminating. The only other advice I can think of is to try to find call center work because then at least you can be laying down while answering phones/emails/messages.
