Dear Abby,
     I am a very conservative woman. I don't drink, dance, wear makeups or pants. I enjoy the company of
friends despite (盡管) our differences and thought they enjoyed mine.
     On our most recent outing, however, they laughed at my religious jewelry, commented on my "lack of
fashion," and made me feel guilty for not wanting to stay out late.
     Despite this, they are great friends and would help me at the drop of a hat. I don't bring up their being
overweight, or that I think some of the clothes they wear are ugly. I don't criticize them for sleeping around.
I wish they would accept me for who I am.
     I am considering not going out with them the next time they ask, but I don't really want it to come to that.
Any suggestions? 
                                                                                                                       Just an Old-Fashioned Girl
________________________________________________________________________________________
Dear Old-Fashioned Girl,
     Just this: It's time for you to start cultivating relationships with people whose values are more like your
own. The friends you have described may be lovely, but their comments were out of line and folks are known
by the company they keep. If you spend a lot of time with the women you have described, people will begin
to make assumptions (臆斷) about you.
                                                                                                                                                     Abby

If you need extra employment support because of a disability, your local job center put you in touch with one of their Disability Employment Advisers(DEA). Disability Employment Advisers can give you help and support regardless of your situation. They can help you find work or gain new skills even if you have been out of work for a long time, or if you have little or no working experience.

   Referral service

   Your DEA can offer you an employment assessment to identify what type of work or training suits you best and also offer you a work program designed to help disabled people, like the Job Introduction Scheme, WORKSTEP or Access to Work. The DEA can let you know about jobs that match your experience and skills and offer you more work information.

   Employment assessments

   An important employment assessment can help you identify your abilities. Your employment assessment will usually take place at your local Job centre. You will have an interview with your DEA, which is an opportunity for you to talk about your skills and abilities and any previous working experience you may have. As part of the assessment, you may be asked to carry out some practical tasks and written work. These tasks will be similar to common tasks involved in various types of work. The assessment may take half a day or longer, depending on your individual needs. The DEA will discuss the length of your assessment with you beforehand.

   After the assessment

   You and your DEA will talk about your assessment and agree on an action plan to help you achieve your job goals. Your action plan may include training or taking part in the “Work Preparation” program.
