Hey! I'm Kris. I just turned 19. I'm late deafened, though ironically I have known ASL and have been a part of the deaf community since I was little. I'm not fluent in ASL and am mostly self taught, but I know enough to communicate and have a good understanding of the different parts to ASL. If...

Retail stores like that could take a day to call you back or weeks to call you back. It depends on how many interviews they have and how fast they need someone. If you have the skills and qualifications needed for the job then of course you have a chance. Good luck!

It helped so much actually.

:wave: Hello! I’m not sure what to write here, so I guess I’ll just summarize my reason for being here. I was born hearing. My mama was in the interpreting program when I was a toddler so I had learned sign at a young age. Sign was constantly used around the house between my mama and me. She...
