I have an ID, and a passport.
I think it's discriminatory. The problem is that the employer can define the job however they want, if that includes possibly-maybe driving across town every now and then, that's what it is.
It seems that employers are making it increasingly difficult to get hired by putting up more and more barriers.
The city jobs website says that to apply you must have 10 years of continuous employment, and that you have to account for any time not working. If I did that my resume would be 10 pages long and include all sorts of personal information! It also said a particular degree was necessary for the job, even though I found out it was not. If you didn't have the degree you had to have 6 years of experience. The person from HR said that there are people who have been working there for 4 years who can't get advanced because they don't have a degree or 6 years experience. My master's degree was irrelevant. I found out today that the job requires the employee to do the same job at 2 different locations in one day. I don't think you could take the bus. (Basically, its one person doing two jobs.)
I'm applying for another one that, although it doesn't say so, probably requires occasional deliveries or pick-ups. The job would not normally require driving, but they want a "vehicle and clean driving record".
Ordinarily both of these positions would be strictly one site, one building, no driving jobs.
And, I'm not kidding... I went to the library to get a library card. I had a passport and the official change of address letter from the Post Office, which was mailed to my new address. That was not acceptable. I had to go the DMV to get my ID so that I could get a library card!
I went to the Office of Rehabilitation. (I have done this before 3 other places I lived and had no problems.) 1. After a video and presentation, they asked me to come back on another day to meet my counselor. I said I didn't drive and asked if I could see someone that day. They did manage to get me to see someone that day. 2. Because I had epilepsy, the counselor didn't believe me when I said I could work, even though I had been working before I moved. It was the most overt discrimination I have ever experienced. I said I needed a suitable job that would allow me to be independent. He was not on board. He wanted to get me A JOB. (I have had A JOB for 15 years.) He gave me a form for my doctor to sign saying I could work and how many hours. He said that he couldn't even give me a bus pass until I "qualified for services" by having the note from the doctor. (My doctor would just ask ME what I think.) Catch 22: I can't have the doctor fill that out, and then go apply for disability - even though IF I get disability in might not be for years. I can't get help from Rehabilitation without the signed form. 3. I called the office and asked for a different counselor and they haven't returned my call.
Even if you have a sense of humor about the whole thing, it makes you wonder if it's worth it. You don't know what to do. The HR person said that there would be some suitable part time employment posted the next couple days. I have a good chance, and I should like the job. Unfortunately, it won't allow me to make a living.
