unfortunately i face alot of disrimination at the interview few year ago when i applied for Fork Lift Truck and they said i can have an interview coz it match to my training and Qualification i had in the past, but later they ask me why my interpreter here with me, as i told them i am deaf and they said ermm bear with me for a moment and few mins later they said unfortunately i cannot apply u a job coz of ur deafness as u require to hear the sound, as i told them been a driver is abt vision not listening, when u drive u do require to hear the sound or u require to use the vision which one do u recommed ? he said ermm i didnt know deaf can drive, i was so fumin and said fuck u in sign language as the interpreter didnt tell the last bit wat i said to the manager... There other Discrimination i had face last year, one day there was a advertistment require a british sign language tutor, so i apply for that sayin i am a qualifed BSL tutor so i attend to the interview and the bloke just told me are u deaf, i said yeah i am, and he said ermm how can u managed to teach hearing people to learn sign language as u cant talk, then i said wat can i ask u one thing, does BSL involded Oral ?? he said ermm no, excatly BSL is abt Visual and Body Language, and he said ermm i am sorry but i require a hearing tutor, and i said fair enought but remember havin a hearing tutor not allowed to use oral in the class as the hearing have to understand deafness with sign language and think of been in silent world for 2 hrs, the way i teach by actor/ bodylanguage and drawing, no writing(english) at all, he said right, i hope u can find another place so sorry abt that.. that does pissed me off alway so now i am workin in deaf world, a part time bsl tutor for hard of hearing and profound deafness who cannot sign, and full time nurse at deaf hospital for mental health!
