Here at the Deaf Professionals’ Problem Page you can read letters from other people who have problems just like you. The letters we publish cover all issues facing Deaf Professionals today from job-hunting tips to managing your work colleagues.
Not only can you read the letters, you can also post your suggestions on what people should do (send suggestions to lc@deafworks.co.uk). Maybe you have some personal life experience that can help others.
We do edit letters before posting, so your names will be removed as well as any information we feel may help people identify you. No matter what your question is feel free to ask it. Browse through the letters and see if you can offer any help. Also see if there is anything which will help you.

Difficult manager
“I am having a few problems at work with my manager.”
Is there more out there?
“Having recently been made redundant, and with little chance of being employed in the industry again, I have been advised to consider further training.”
How to advertise
“I am trying to advertise a brand new activity but am having great difficulty filling the places.”
Fleeing the nest
“I have a place at university but I have decided to put it off for a year because I want more experience of life first.”
