[Blindtlk] technology position opening in Texas

[David Andrews]

>
>Greetings. this is regarding a position in the technology department
>at the criss Cole Rehabilitation Center. A position has recently
>become available at this adult training center for the blind in
>Austin, Texas. This is the state's training center. the position will
>be open until April 14. Criss cole helps blind adults regain their
>independence, or build on what skills they already have. Criss Cole
>has a very good policy for those with guide dogs, mainly that the
>student must not use the dog for 4 hours of the day, but they have the
>option of using their dog guide the rest of the training day. this is
>more progressive in my humble opinion as compared to other training
>centers. I am not trying to start debate on this, just pointing out
>the policy at Criss cole. I have been working at criss cole for the
>past 5 years and have very much enjoyed it. I can say from experience
>that the technology department does not have openings very often, at
>least compared to other departments at the center. Those that are
>interested are highly encouraged to apply. In general, the person
>would need to be familiar with JAWS, Windows, and other Microsoft
>Office related software. the person would also need to be willing to
>undergo blindfold training and wear a blindfold if they are low vision
>or sighted. To read more about the requirements and other job details,
