Living with chronic illness, chronic pain, rare disease, and/or disability can significantly impact your ability to land the perfect job.
And what makes the perfect job? Well, for starters the appropriate pay is OBVIOUSLY a need. But we also need to consider willingness to offer reasonable accommodations, an individual’s ability to perform the tasks comfortably, and fulfilling our needs as job seekers not only emotionally, mentally, but also spiritually (in whatever way[s] that is important to you).

Chronically Capable
Chronically Capable says on their site, “We are working to remove the fear and stigma of living with chronic illness or disability from the hiring process. We create a tacit understanding between employers and jobseekers: employers who are part of our network believe that people living with chronic illness or disability are capable of being productive employees—and jobseekers who use the platform can feel secure that participating employers care about their success.”
