[Job-Discussions] work from home jobs

Wed May 11 21:20:23 UTC 2022

Laboriously writing Scripps and building your own software through those Scripps to do your job is also letting people off the hook that should be doing their jobs. It shouldn’t be my job to make my own job accessible, when I already have a full-time job on top of that. Making things accessible can be a full-time job. There are companies out there that specialize in that. That’s why if your counselor serve ER isn’t doing their job, you need to appeal it. I’m done playing that game of kissing ass and working 20 times harder because people won’t do their jobs to make things accessible. That’s just total bullshit, a waste of my time, and much more stressful, when the work I do has enough of it some stress.

Even if somethings aren’t accessible in a company, you could work with your state vocational rehabilitation program, to have someone look at scripting whatever isn’t working with jaws, or just finding an alternative to whatever isn’t accessible. You might be able to find alternative programs that accomplish the same task. If information is not accessible on our website, you could use OCR, to attempt to help it out. Sometimes, with internal websites that weren’t accessible, I was able to contact an internal company customer support number, to get help completing the task. Sometimes, there was also an internal company email address. It just depends on the job.  The other problem with limiting yourself to finding a job based on accessibility alone is that whatever is accessible today might not be so tomorrow. You can lock yourself out of hundreds of jobs, by saying that you’re only work for companies that know about accessibility. More companies need to know about it.

I think it is good if we share companies who are trying to make their jobs accessible to all. Diversity equity and inclusion are lovely words but I am encouraged to see companies embracing what it means to be accessible for all.

When you’re looking for work from home jobs, you can type something like remote into the location. For the keyword search, type keywords from your résumé. Let me know if this is helpful. I do think that it is important to search for jobs the same way anyone else would, and not just worry about how accessible they are. How accessible a job is also depends on your proficiency with your screen reader. Also, remember that you don’t have to accept the job offer, if you interview with companies, and you don’t feel like it’s a good idea.
