Candidate rejection | Deaf jobseeker asks employers to 'give her a chance' after 1,000 job rejections

A deaf jobseeker is beckoning employers to give her a chance after being rejected from more than 1,000 jobs over an 18-month period - thenothernecho.co.uk reports.

Thirty-two-year-old IT worker, Kellie Wilson - who believes that her struggle to secure employment is directly correlated with her hearing impairment - is now considering undergoing a chancy operation, with varying success, to heighten her chances in the employment world.

Regardless of her past job-hunting struggles, Wilson expresses a high-level of confidence when it comes to completing the administrative-type roles that she has applied for previously.

For this reason, Wilson said that she is just asking for employers to give her a chance and “treat [her] like other people”.
