This week, we look at Vocational Rehabilitation.
We are looking at Internet resources that may help some people on their remote job journeys.
Vocational Rehabilitation is a state government office in the United States that helps people find job opportunities with body limitations (or difficulties). People with body limitations (like back problems making it difficult to lift heavy items) may find the services in Vocational Rehabilitation helpful in your remote job journey.
A person may meet with a specialist who can help them with their remote job journeys.
You can often find a state government that will create a Vocational Rehabilitation web page that will give information about their state’s Vocational Rehabilitation services.
Check with the Vocational Rehabilitation office in your state to see what specific services your Vocational Rehabilitation office has and the specific guidelines to qualify for their services.
You may have a government office that functions similarly to those outside the United States.
For those looking for a Vocational Rehabilitation office for your state, you can do a Google search (or some other similar search engine) and type in the word phrase “Vocational Rehabilitation” and then the state you live in. If you are searching on Google, type the phrase “Vocational Rehabilitation” in quotes so Google will search for the entire phrase “Vocational Rehabilitation” instead of two separate words of Vocational and then Rehabilitation. You can search for the phrase “Vocational Rehabilitation” in quotes, which makes for a more precise search.
You can also look for listings of Vocational Rehabilitation offices on the Internet.
Rehabilitation Services Administration (RSA)

One place to find a Vocational Rehabilitation listing is on the
United States Department of Education
Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services (OSERS), Rehabilitation Services Administration (RSA) webpage at https://rsa.ed.gov/about).

How to find remote jobs for the United States Federal Government
The remote jobs of the United States Federal government.
The United States federal government has two types of remote job positions.
The difference between the two remote job positions is whether the remote job position is fully remote or hybrid remote. Details for each remote job position will depend upon each job posting; remote jobs can vary.
The two different remote job positions are:
(1) Remote
Usajobs.gov call fully remote job positions “Remote.”
Remote job positions are often fully remote job positions.
You may sometimes have to come to a physical location with Remote job positions. For example, you may have to train at a physical site.
Usajobs.gov call hybrid-remote job positions “Telework.”
Telework positions may give you a mixture of work time between working from home and at an employer’s location.
You find federal government job positions (including remote job positions) through keyword search.
You type in keywords that you want to appear in the job posting.
You hopefully will then get a listing of job choices.
You then can select a job choice to get more details about that job position.
Type the keywords in the “Keywords” search box.
Remote jobs (how to find them)
You have a few options to find the more fully remote jobs called Remote jobs.
Find Remote Jobs in the initial job search
One option is to search for Remote jobs through your initial search.
You can type “remote” in the “location” search box.
You will then get a menu of choices under the “location” search box.
Select the choice called “Only show remote jobs.”
You will then get a filter created for your search.
The filter is a small black box appearing under the search options but above the actual search results.
The small black box will say, “Only show remote jobs.”
Other filters can appear in this area as additional small black boxes.
For example, you may see additional small black boxes listing the keywords you typed in for a federal job search.
Do the initial job search, then filter for Remote Jobs
Filter for the Remote jobs after the initial search
You can also filter Remote jobs after you have a search
After you search on Usajobs.gov, you will hopefully have a list of job choices that interest you.
You can filter down the job search using filters on the screen’s right side.

Save interest job positions–as you search for jobs, you may find job positions of interest but do not have the time to apply for the job positions. You can save the position and apply for the job position later as long as the position is still being recruited.

Hiring Paths
The Federal Government has job positions limited to people who have particular backgrounds. For example, if you are a United States Veteran, you may qualify for job positions in the “Veterans” hiring paths.
Usajobs.gov list the different hiring paths on the right side of the screen.
Picture Symbol Circle–tells you the hiring path
The different hiring paths will have a picture symbol circle that will give a visual sign of that hiring path.
These same picture symbol circles will also appear in the job postings.
Picture symbol circles tell the job seekers what is the job applicant’s background needed to apply for that federal job.
Match the picture symbol circles in the job postings with those in the hiring path section on the right side of the screen.
For example, Veteran job positions in the federal government have a specific picture symbol circle.
You will see the Veterans’ picture symbol circle on the right side of the screen describing “hiring paths.”
You will also notice the same picture symbol circle in some job postings. When you see a Veteran picture symbol circle on a job posting, veterans can apply for that job position.
