Finding Work When You’re Disabled: Real Talk with Mike Bolland

In this episode of We’re Not Stumped, host Mike Bolland gets real about the challenges of finding a job while living with a disability. Born without his right hand, Mike has firsthand experience navigating interviews, workplace bias, and the self-doubt that can creep in during the job search.

He shares tips that helped him—and that can help you—stand out for the right reasons, from understanding your rights under the ADA to deciding when (or if) to disclose your disability. If you’ve ever felt overlooked, underestimated, or unsure where to start, this episode offers encouragement, strategies, and real-world advice from someone who’s walked the walk.

🛠️ Topics include:

  • How to highlight your strengths, not your limitations
  • Disability-friendly job boards and resources
  • Why owning your story is your greatest strength

Whether you were born with a disability or acquired one later in life, this episode is for anyone ready to pursue meaningful work and thrive.
