Jobs for Deaf, Hard of Hearing, DeafBlind, and Hearing Impaired

If a Deaf or HoH person is to look for a job, where is a good resource to use? And I am not referring to jobs for Video Relay Services (VRS), residential schools for the Deaf, or schools offering programs in deaf-related or interpreting-related studies. What else is out there for the American Sign Language (ASL) community?

I found a website that I think has alot of potential. It is very easy to narrow down your search results by Company, Date Posted, Job Type, Education, Experience, Special Filters, Job Boards, or Recruiters.


It has received awards and press releases by major companies such as Time, Forbes, PC, CNET, and so forth.

If you search the keyword :
  • Deaf => will return 841 results; ranging from Interpreters to Executive Director.
  • ASL => will return 531 results, ranging from Interpreters to System Engineers
  • Hearing Impaired => will return 1,663 results; ranging from Nurses to Speech Pathologist.
Some fun facts for you from BusinessWeek
  • The easiest place to find jobs is Washington DC
  • The hardest place to find jobs is Detroit.
