Why don't QVS HSn have any disabled hosts.? I am sure many people with disabilities buy the products

How do we know they don't?  Not all disabilities are obvious.

Maybe they do.  Not all disabilities are front and center and many disabled people don't advertise their problems.

 

This same topic was deleted a few months ago by the mods.  So don't be surprised if this one is poofed too.

that question just leads to, why can't qvc hire this kind of person or that kind of person. no one company can hire people of all ethnicities, backgrounds, or special circumstances in life, to be all inclusive.

Maybe no one with a disability has ever applied for a job.  Dan H. is color blind but I don't know if that qualifies.  I think this post was created to cause problems.

I am going to be 71 tomorrow, and have a disability no one knows about. That doesn't mean I want to see an old, disabled person selling stuff! I get excited watching the young, pretty girls. The prettier the better. If anyone can get me to buy, it's the young ones. I've been watching since the station started and watched the hosts that are still on today. They no longer inspire or even interest me to buy something. Often, I feel they have fallen behind, and haven't kept up with trends.

I agree with other posters here, how do you know that there aren't hosts with a disability that can't be seen AND how do you know if people with visible disabilities have even applied for on air jobs at QVC?

 

I'm willing to bet that QVC may have many employees with visible disabilities that work 'behind the scenes', as that is their preference, they don't want to be an on air host.

I understand there are disabilities that do not make someone disabled, hence this question.  

 

However, answering by what I am familiar with, a disability means a monthly check and medical benefits.

@RedTop 

 

Unfortunately, there are many disabilities that the government doesn't recognize as being eligible for disability payments or medical benefits.

 

That's why you see those attorney ads on TV, that say they will help you fight for your disability benefits, if you are turned down for them.

@KingstonsMom,

My dad fought for his disability for 5+ years, with a lawyers help.    

 

My husband and brother were approved for disability within 30 days of applying.
