Out of Despair: Unusual search for a job

He is young, well educated, highly motivated - nevertheless, Jan Steege does not find a job! Now he is looking on the Internet with an unusual job advertisement.

"You are looking for me!" With this nice sentence Jan Steege from Ottersberg near Bremen is looking for a job as a media designer. Due to muscle wasting of the type Duchenne he is bound to the wheelchair. He has been looking for a long time at the standard way with classic applications - but unfortunately it has not worked out yet.

Jan tells about his efforts : "First of all, I explain to myself why many companies, even in times of inclusion, have no thoughts on the often untapped potential of manpower To make matters worse, companies often do not have an overview of the many funding options, for example, up to 70 percent of salary costs are covered by the state in the first two years, and another hurdle is the common prejudice about resilience or immutability I hope and do not think it was on the wheelchair, but I could imagine that in the advertising industry, where perfection is concerned, things like that might play a minor role in the thinking. "

In the meantime, 29-year-old Jan is already a little bit desperate and therefore he tries to find his dream job via internet. His friends and many unknown people like to support his extraordinary job advertisement, the image for the search text has already been shared thousands of times.

After a long and unfortunately unsuccessful "conventional" job search this is now my first "unconventional" ...
