INTRODUCTION  \n 03  \n1. INTRODUCTION  \nThe Constitution has enshrined a human rights perspective that protects people with epilepsy from discrimination and establishes their inalienable right to dignity and participation in civil society. People with epilepsy have an enormous contribution to make to society and participation in the open labour market isone mechanism for that contribution to be made. However, despite progressive policies, people with epilepsy and other disabilities in South Africa are significantly under-represented in the workforce.  \nLack of opportunities to participate in the workforce and earn a decent living has left a majority of people with disabilities in poverty. Although epilepsy is a common neurological condition that impacts about one in every one hundred people, significant confusion exists about its effects on the lives and work of people with epilepsy. Therefore, this manual has been developed to redress the existing imbalances and empower people with epilepsy to obtain employment. It has been developed to support individuals from various backgrounds to access a step by step the process for, and rights pertaining to, obtaining open labour market employment.  \nThe manual begins with instructions to assist in the identification of a good job match based upon each individual’s unique skills, interests and abilities. It provides information on how to create a CV and cover letter and when those job search tools are the most effective. How to prepare for, and conduct oneself, during an interview is also detailed. Should you be offered a position, the manual provides tips on how to understand employment contracts, expectations and rights.  \nYou may chose to read his manual in its entirety or to only read the sections that are important to you during the various stages of your job search. Furthermore, atthe end of the manual there is a list of references for additional information that may be useful in regard to accessing employment and your economic rights. Best of luck with your job search!  \n04  \n1.1 EPILEPSY SOUTH AFRICA  \nFounded in 1967, Epilepsy South Africa is the only national non-profit organisation in the country focusing exclusively on rendering specialised and comprehensive services to people living with epilepsy and other disabilities.

We work to protect their rights, promote empowerment, self-determination and, when unable to do so themselves, represent their interests.
