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. </div><div dir="ltr"><br><blockquote type="cite">On May 10, 2022, at 2:36 PM, Rhonda PartainRhonda via Job-Discussions <job-discussions@nfbnet.org> wrote:<br><br></blockquote></div><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr"><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"><meta name="Generator" content="Microsoft Word 15 (filtered medium)"><style><!--

I have found that many companies use programs that are not compatible with Jaws. I have used Jaws for over 20 years. 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. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p><p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" face="Calibri"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Rhonda Partain<o:p></o:p></span></font></p><p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" face="Calibri"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p><div><div style="border:none;border-top:solid #E1E1E1 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in"><p class="MsoNormal"><b><font size="2" face="Calibri"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-weight:bold">From:</span></font></b> Job-Discussions <job-discussions-bounces@nfbnet.org> <b><span style="font-weight:bold">On Behalf Of </span></b>Michael Walker via Job-Discussions<br><b><span style="font-weight:bold">Sent:</span></b> Tuesday, May 10, 2022 2:55 PM<br><b><span style="font-weight:bold">To:</span></b> Job Discussions internet Mailing List <job-discussions@nfbnet.org><br><b><span style="font-weight:bold">Cc:</span></b> Michael Walker <michael.walker199014@gmail.com><br><b><span style="font-weight:bold">Subject:</span></b> Re: [Job-Discussions] work from home jobs<o:p></o:p></p></div></div><p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" face="Calibri"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p><div><p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" face="Calibri"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Hi Rhonda,<o:p></o:p></span></font></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" face="Calibri"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" face="Calibri"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">You can search for work from home jobs on LinkedIn, indeed, monster, career builder, getting hired, disabled person, and other job boards. 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.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" face="Calibri"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" face="Calibri"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Best regards,<o:p></o:p></span></font></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" face="Calibri"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Mike <o:p></o:p></span></font></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" face="Calibri"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><br><br><o:p></o:p></span></font></p><blockquote style="margin-top:5.0pt;margin-bottom:5.0pt"><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><font size="2" face="Calibri"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">On May 9, 2022, at 10:47 PM, Rhonda PartainRhonda via Job-Discussions <<a href="mailto:job-discussions@nfbnet.org">job-discussions@nfbnet.org</a>> wrote:<o:p></o:p></span></font></p></blockquote></div><blockquote style="margin-top:5.0pt;margin-bottom:5.0pt"><div><p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" face="Calibri"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p></o:p></span></font></p><p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" face="Calibri"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">I have friends who are looking for work from home jobs that would be accessible with Jaws.
