I (Raja) advocate in the neurodivergent world and I am reaching out to all of the folks out there that understand the challenges neurodivergent individuals face. Remember these wonderful beautiful people have brains wired much different than typical individuals, super intelligent, diligent, committed, hard working and would be an incredible asset to have on any business balance sheet. please give Zane Contreras a chance. (below is a message from Zane's father) Dear Friends and Colleagues. Throughout my career I have acquired a strong network of healthcare professionals and have used this network to connect with each other and provide leads to job opportunities. I am reaching out to you all to help me with some leads for my son Zane. Meet Zane Contreras ( https://lnkd.in/gEdUS8PE ), 2.5 years ago he graduated with a Master’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering and he is struggling to find a job in his field. Why you wonder? Here is my assessment, lack of experience, he did not do any internships while in college, he does not interview well as he has a bit of a stutter, and he has been diagnosed with Autism. We have gone to the state and government for resources to help with placement but that has not been fruitful. We hired an online coach who was of no benefit. He goes to employers’ offices in person in Sacramento to present his resume with some hope to speak with hiring manager. He signed up for LinkedIn premium, which is of no help. He has applied in and out of state. He has been on interviews, but no opportunities have been presented. Zane is smart, good at problem solving, and understands complex concepts (his thesis was on strength of materials). His current employer (he does carry out a nursery in Sacramento) loves him as he is a reliable, hardworking, and dedicated employee. I mentioned, I have a great network in the healthcare space but do not know anything about the engineering space. Zane is looking for leads or someone to give him a shot. If you know of anyone or have some information for us, please DM me on LinkedIn so we can connect. Much appreciated. Zack Contreras #neurodivergent #mechanicalengineering #gifted @marhaba91 @yasmeenbarakat
