Was it too much to ask my job coach to help me find another job?

I've had job coaches through Job Path, for which VESID is an umbrella organization, for many years. Nearly all of them, about three out of about five of them, helped or offered to help me find another job. It's part of what job coaches do. If you want to be more employable and therefore have more options you should stay with this store for at least a year (employers don't care for very short stays), and really work on learning that cash register thing. Knowing how to work a cash register is a skill (employers like skills) that comes up in many jobs. You apparently have a good slow paced opportunity to learn it. Unless you have a lot of bad mess ups with being the cashier in your new situation it'd be good to stay and learn. Ask your manager about getting extra instruction and practice.

a job coach helps you learn your current job. you have not given this job a chance. if i ran an agency that employed a job coach and that coach worked on finding a new job instead of teaching the current one....i would fire that job coach. your VESID counselor is the one to help find the appropriate job. why do you sometimes have to go on the register...there are jobs in stores that do not require people to ever go on register...if there are a group of people working--say 5....and 1 is regularly on the register, and the other 4 are back up----you should be the last to be called---which should almost never happen. is this a large chain store? maybe if it is--and you tell us--we can suggest accommodations for you. do you mean when there is no stocking for you to do? because when it isn't too busy, there would be no reason to add you to a register. most people will NOT get funding for community college---voc rehab just doesn't have the resources...the people likely to get college funding are those that can't physically do many jobs. you would have a better chance getting a short vocational program paid for. just because some did help find another job, doesn't mean they were supposed to....
