OARacle Newsletter

Hire Autism recently added two new resources to its website to support autistic adults in finding meaningful employment.

Job Scam Resource

Unfortunately, job scams pose a real risk to job seekers searching for their next employment opportunity. With this in mind, Hire Autism wrote Job Scams: What to Look for and Common Red Flags to help job seekers identify and navigate scams during their job search.

This resource defines a job scam, shares common red flags, and provides tips on how to avoid them and ways individuals can protect themselves after engaging with a job scam. The content within this resource is general information on job scams and is not intended as legal advice.

Hire Autism Featured Articles

Each month, Hire Autism sends a newsletter to registered job seekers with information on various employment topics and resources. If you are a job seeker, create an account to receive the newsletter and make use of all of Hire Autism’s resources. This year, Hire Autism is excited to expand the information shared within these newsletters by adding stand-alone articles to the Hire Autism website.

Read the newest featured article, “Decoding Job Descriptions: Support for Autistic Job Seekers,” for information about the components of job descriptions, common barriers, inaccessible language, and tips for navigating job descriptions.

With the addition of these articles, Hire Autism is seeking more community input and would like to invite contributors for future employment-related articles. Some of the topics planned for 2024 include tailoring job search documents, career fairs, working with recruiters, applying for jobs, Schedule A, interviews, addressing employment gaps, and more.

If you want to share advice or tips with our job seekers on an employment-related topic, the Hire Autism team would love to connect with you! Please contact the Hire Autism team at mail@hireautism.org.
