Work Abilities: A Guide for Persons With Disabilities Seeking Employment

Judith Thomas is a Career Development Practitioner with her own business entitled Canada Career Coach. Her employment coaching work includes assisting newcomers, marginalized youth, forty-plus clients, persons with disabilities, students and the long-term unemployed. She is also a writer with four articles published in the Contactpoint Bulletin for Career Counsellors. Judith is an excellent public speaker who has presented at private businesses on disability issues, schools on the importance of career choices, and at many conferences on employment based issues. Judith brings a rare perspective to her guide for job seekers, both as a respected job coach and a person with a disability herself. She has approached her subject with a down to earth, easy to read, writing style, peppered with humour. She has a second book, currently in the development stage, for employment professionals, working with persons with disabilities.
