FTM motivational speaker Jack Ori offers a new 2-hour teleseminar to help transgender people support themselves despite legalized discrimination in the job market.
Raleigh, NC (OPENPRESS) August 28, 2012 -- Motivational speaker Jack Ori is offering a new online seminar for trans people who are falling victim to legalized discrimination while searching for jobs. The seminar, How to Make Money When You Can't Find a Job, teaches participants how to shift their mindset from employee to entrepreneur, discover marketable talents, and take the first steps towards going into business for themselves.
"In 38 states, including North Carolina, it's legal not to hire someone or to fire them for being openly gay or transgender," Ori explains. "This causes a lot of problems...everything from homelessness to suicide. I believe if people realized there was another way, there would be a lot less tragedies in the community."
Ori, who has been self-employed for two years as a freelance writer, plans to draw on his personal experiences to teach other trans people how to support themselves when it's difficult to find employment. Over the course of two hours, he will go over the reasons why traditional job searching doesn't always work for trans people and other minorities, explain how to shift into the mindset of an entrepreneur and explore ways to discover passionate interests and turn them into marketable businesses. Participants will also have the opportunity to ask questions.
How to Make Money When You Can't Find a Job will take place entirely online so that transgender people all over the country can participate. The two-hour program will take place at 3:00 PM on September 8. It costs $10, although scholarships are available for participants who don't have the financial means to pay for it. All participants will receive a free recording of the program afterwards so that they can refer to it as needed.
