[nabentre] Goto Meeting and meetings with Contracted companies?

Wed Dec 2 16:59:07 UTC 2015

I would encourage going to your local chamber of commerce meetings there are companies out there that are part of your local community. Being an officer with our Chamber of Commerce, many companies who hirer independent contractors like Host Travel Agencies or Insurance Companies: Such as Car and Home Owner insurance companies hire independent contractors, but you need to learn the business.

I have been following this thread, but been sick to reply.

I am an Independent Contractor, I own Echevarria Travel, but I am also hosted by a travel agency. Many of the Host Agencies do offer training, but you need to know the bases for being a travel expert. 

Remember this industry is a trillion dollar industry. I have done presentations at National Convention about this.

Sincerely,

Cheryl Echevarria, President

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles between blind people and our dreams. You can have the life you want; blindness is not what holds you back.

Honestly if you can do hangouts you would be better off. Good luck with getting Citrix to work on accessibility, from my observations it isn’t going to happen any time soon. You can interact on the phone, however if they are sharing documents for you even with hangouts this isn’t going to work well on any platform.
Here is a document that will help with google hangouts (keyboard shortcuts) https://support.google.com/hangouts/answer/3112005?hl=en <https://support.google.com/hangouts/answer/3112005?hl=en>

I told the payroll company Goto was not accessible and suggested they use Google Hangouts which, I believe, has the same functionality, but I am wondering if I can use Goto in any way?
