Can you ask some local deaf people?
I wondered how can the interviewer be the boss during the interview? Some prospective employers provided sign language interpreters during interviews. Some just write back and forth. UPS used to do with the TTY/TTD. Most deaf people worked in deaf schools, deaf social services, deaf life, go to deafresource.com or see yahoo directory. there are about 30 deaf lawyers, 10+ deaf doctors, 3-4 dentists, no large airplane pilots (sobbing).

yes i asked most of deaf people around. also i like to update this too.
well, I'd interview with 9 different boss. some of them from mall and fast foods. so, anyway, most of them says they provide interpreters, write down on the paper, talk on the phone through relay on vp or tty either, and they willing to learn sign languages. funny, i went to hot topic and interview with boss, and he wanna me to work for his place. i was like sure why not? lol wow.. almost 30 deaf lawyers?.... how do you know?

i used to know of a website that listed all of the possible jobs a deaf person can do, but unfortunately i no longer have it on my computer. i'll do a google search to see if i can find it again and if so, i'll post it here.

Interview experience, I did not have an interpreter, as I don't need one. Deaf people work in all occupations. I'm a writer and, after graduation next spring, aim to be in the television news media as a reporter. I'm very familiar with the ADA, as I have a hearing dog with me nearly all the time. I have to know accessibility issues and don't hesitate to call the police for backup. You're welcome!
