Mute who uses Pidgin Sign Language seeks job assistance
Question Posted Thursday February 8 2018, 3:03 am
I am moving to Colorado this year with my husband and I need help finding a job suitable for me. I am a selective mute/social mute, but I do know some sign language and am constantly learning more signs. I use PSE, Pidgin Signing English which uses actual ASL words, but the sentences are structured the way English is spoken, unlike traditional ASL. Right now, I work in a grocery store, but once I move I will need to find a new job. Is there any way, I can find a community or online list for mute people? I have been a casino soft count clerk, a cashier, housekeeper, landscaper, and deli clerk. I just need help in a new state.

However, logically thinking, if no one has anything other suggestions you might try the local DSHS office in the city you're moving to. Department of Social and Health Services. Since its about services, I would think that they could hook you up with a job counselor. I used to do care giving for the mentally challenged and those able to, were matched up with jobs that they could handle with their job counselor acting as a go between for them and the employer if they had issues. In your case, you are handle to communicate well, just that it works for the rest of us to read what you write. So that is my best suggestion. Wish you weill in your move.
