    The deaf and hard of hearing community has its own employment opportunities and resources to aid both hearing and deaf people seeking hearing loss-related employment opportunities.

    The following employment resources list all types of jobs available in the deaf community, and may have searchable or categorized listings.

    • The HireDeaf listings (www.hiredeaf.com) are searchable by date and field of interest. Resumes can be posted, and job training videos can be bought.

    • The Hearing Exchange (www.hearingexchange.com/jobs) section allows both the posting of jobs and resumes, in a searchable database. While the listings can be searched by date posted, the actual listings do not give the dates of posting.

    • The DeafTek USA (http://www.deaftek.org/) job database sorts all the jobs into categories, including: agency, business, education, interpreting, mental health, and organization. The database can not be searched by location or date posted.

    • The National Association of the Deaf offers a sorted (but not searchable) Job Market Online (http://www.nad.org/site/pp.asp?c=foINKQMBF&b=91587) with dates of posting and date of expiration listed.

    That's not entirely accurate to say the deaf community has it's own "resources" as in some communities such as mine...folks assume deaf should just draw disability. They want to work like anyone else...as someone who's lost the remainder of what hearing I had...with a computer degree...having the darndest time finding a job. By the way...the about site...all fluff. A good site to try is www.usajobs.gov that's the official site for federal jobs. It's searchable by location, keywords, etc.
