[blparent] Off topic: screen reader users needed

[Veronica Smith]

Probably true, but in the times we are living now, it is good that they are
even offering anything.  I have been looking for a job and every where I
look, the postings say, "no jobs available or frozen." V

Hi,

It sounds like they should give you more for your time than $50 for 1.5
hours as a screen reader tester. That is only $30 an hour. This company
probably gets paid thousands of dollars for testing out accessibility
features for high profile companies like Nike and Sony. The hourly rates for
a commercial project like that should be at least $80 to $100 an hour if not
more.

Hi all.

I received this message from a company I've been working with on
accessibility, and thought some of you might be interested/could use
the money.





Get paid $50 to use a website!

RightNow technologies is looking for screen reader users.  We'll ask
you to perform a task with a website and then talk about your
experience.  Participants must meet the following criteria:

1)	Ability to communicate clearly over the phone.
2)	Use a screen reader as your primary way of operating a computer.
3)	A high speed internet connection.
4)	A computer with a web browser (Firefox, Internet Explorer, Chrome,
or Safari).

During the 1.5 hour session, you'll get a chance to try out several
new features of a generic customer service website and help us to
design the website to work better for visually impaired folks.

Your feedback may help to influence the design of some of our high
profile client websites which include Sony, Nike, Bresnan, and iRobot.

All sessions will take place the week of July 19th. Please contact Ben
Werner at 406-548-3245 or ben.werner at rightnow.com for more
information.
