[Job-Discussions] Looking for my next information technology job in St. Louis, Missouri

[Jordan Gallacher]

That is definitely a good place to be on.  I could not agree more about
using Linked In as a tool.

I would suggest you to use LinkedIn.  Last 3 weeks, I have seen employment
opportunities for people in the accessibility field  including Amazon.
It is also a great place for networking.  For visibility, it is important to
have a good profile in LinkedIn.

Thanks

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
