[Job-Discussions] Frustration with LinkedIn

[Ericka]

I do have AIRA. I thought of them but its a last resort. You used to be able to do it on the app. I’ll take your suggestion to try the laptop. 

It will be a nice diversion from packing. We are moving a half hour drive away. Moving during convention unfortunately.

I have heard that it does work slightly better using JAWS and Mozilla Firefox, but even with that, it still doesn’t seem to be very accessible. As far as updating your profile, I don’t think you can do that through the mobile app; I think that has to be done on the computer. I wonder though if Aira or Be My Eyes might be of assistance. I know Aira has an offer for job seekers, so maybe give them a try.

>>>>>> Hey everyone I can’t tell you how frustrated I am with this app! I tried to update some thing because I’m switching careers. It won’t let me do it and it certainly won’t let me see you that I am volunteering rather than working somewhere. I tried to update my photo and it won’t let me do that either. I keep coming up with “there was an error sorry we can’t update you” or something like that. I know there’s problems with this app anyhow because it’s not as accessible for voiceover/speech raider users as we’d all like but it used to be better or more user-friendly.

Currently I am only using my iPhone SE 2020 but will in the future use it on my HP laptop. Thanks in advance for any info support encouragement whatever you can give.
