[Job-Discussions] I'm being recruited for a job with inaccessible technology and need advice?

Hello
>From what little I recall of seeing the back end of it, Survey Monkey is
fairly accessible. Excel can work, though is not the most user friendly for
noting survey answers unless you're fairly competent at managing a lot of
audio output rapidly; the "title reading" manager  in JAWS (JAWS cursor plus
V for quick settings and then search for title reading) will let you
maneuver either horizontally or vertically depending on how you have the
survey set up; it is still going to be a bit klunky for the first 10-30
surveys depending on speed and ability to interact with faster JAWS
narration as you have to hunt and peck a bit even with the "go to" function
- Control + G - as you'll have to keep the columns or rows accurate across
however many questions you have.

Good luck and hope this helps however minimally

So the job is a research assistant in a psychology lab. Part of my job
will to be using Qualtrics to create surveys but that is not
accessible. Even so, I sure know how to create a survey. The same with
Mendley, a reference classification system. Again I've read it's not
accessible, but I can certainly classify documents. I have that brain
power.

1. Since all the recruiting is on Zoom, I don't think they know I'm
blind. Should I tell them or should not tell them unless I'm hired to
protect myself?
2. Does anyone know of any accessible JAWS alternatives to Qualtrics
and/or Mendeley?
3. What are my options? I know I can use AIRA (for a fee) or a reader.
Or I can put the information in Microsoft Word or ExCel for others to
put in the software? Are there any other ideas?

Thank you so much.

Best,

Amy Albin
