Get the Right Phone to Get the Right Job
You could be the perfect candidate, but without a phone how can employers communicate with you about a job? Massachusetts Equipment Distribution Program (MassEDP) offers specialized telephones to residents who have a permanent disability. Depending on your income, you can get phone equipment free of charge or at a reduced cost.
MassEDP works to match people with phone equipment designed with their unique needs in mind. Imagine using a phone made specifically for the way you communicate. With the right phone, you’ll be more able to convince an employer that you’re the right candidate for the job. Employers value workers who are independent, and using a phone on your own helps to convey that message.
How can I get a Phone?
Here are the qualifications for obtaining a phone from MassEDP:
If qualified, you can apply for this program by calling a MassEDP Equipment Program Specialist at 800-300-5658 Voice/TTY, Monday - Friday, 8:30 am to 5:00 pm. The specialist will discuss your needs with you to determine which equipment suits you best. You can also apply online at www.MassEDP.com.
MassEDP wants you to have the tools you need to get the job you deserve. Take control of your job search and get yourself hired.
