Success StoriesWhen Elizabeth Sammons returned home to the US after ten years of living and working in Russia and testified before a House Committee in Washington, DC, saying "It's a lot easier for me to get a job in Russia than in my own country," she had no idea where those words would take her. Come along into a day of work with this Legislative Liaison and CareerConnect Mentor to find out how lobbyists affect public policy decisions. In addition, there are many other first-hand accounts from CareerConnect mentors of working as an employee who is blind or has low vision, special articles from CareerConnect mentees about what they gained through their connections with mentors, articles about mentors in various occupations who have been spotlighted by the media, and more!
