Hi,

I am new to this list.  I was born and raised in St. Louis, and I am totally blind.  I worked as a programmer for about six years, and am out looking for my next IT job.

I enjoy working with databases and web development.  I am open to exploring really any IT opportunities, even outside of programming.

 From a blindness perspective, what suggestions do you have for searching for jobs?  How do you find jobs and companies that are friendly to hiring blind people?  As a side note, I love remote work.

When you have landed that dream job, what do you do when you have issues with reasonable accommodations?  I have experienced the situation where I obtain JAWS, but internal websites may not be accessible.  How do you get the help you need in that case?

Thank you,

Michael Walker
