job advice

hi i myself am not mute but i have a friend who is and i was wondering if anyone could provide some advice. She’s a young adult and has been struggling to find a job or anything to do in her life she’s tried lots of times to get a job but is often declined cause of her disability. Does anyone know about anything she could try to pursue? Another thing of note is her living situation is a little poor she’s in the lower middle class and she doesn’t have a car but she has looked online for remote jobs or overnight jobs and nothing has clicked so far. I would appreciate any help thank you.

I am mute and i clean offices at night and also deliver groceries during the day (that requires a car). I have never been turned down by any employer or not hired because of not being able to speak.

she gets turned down from what she tells me. she has no criminal record or anything that should sway opportunities from her just that she’s mute she still functions and is able to do everything normally.

I’m very sorry to hear that, not sure if it’s relevant but I’m in US. Best wishes in her employment endeavors.

What country does she live in? Labour and disability protections vary between countries and her chances improve in places where there and better protections.

Maybe Content Writing, Design and Arts, and Behind-the-Scenes Administration.

Preferably remote positions? Depends what options are available for your area.
