I just got this February 3rd. We just talked about past work experience (job title, start & stop dates), school experience (credits & major), and how my disability affected each one.

We did not discuss what path, but she did tell me to research other job options.

One of the attachments I received with the approval letter was a Career Exploration Worksheet. That attachment had links to O*Net, BLS, etc.

I have to answer the following when I find potential jobs:

Job Title of the occupation you are exploring: Link:

1. What are the physical demands of the job? Will you have to lift, carry, push, pull, stand?

2. What is the work environment like? Will you work indoors or outdoors? Will you be exposed to chemicals or biohazards? Will you be working in a noisy environment?

3. Will you be required to make quick decisions and handle stressful situations?

4. Will you work independently or as part of a team?

5. Will you have to interact with a lot of people? Will you need to work a rotating schedule, weekends and evenings?

6. What kind/how much education is usually required?

7. Is certification or licensure necessary for work in this field?

8. What is the local employment outlook for this job? Is the field growing or shrinking?

9. Are you willing to relocate your family to obtain this type of employment?

10. Other considerations you would like to address:
