I'm hard of hearing and have no job and it's so hard to get a job. I live with my boyfriend who is hearing and my two roommates who are also hearing. And they don't see how hard it is for me to get a job. They kept saying "oh you can get a job easily you are disable" how can i get a job with no job experiences?
