The consensus I seem to hear is to disclose blindness as late as possible, 
but before the interview.

Hi,
also, I forgot to add this. It is up to you when to disclose blindness. your 
job placement person should not decide for you. I'd disclose before the 
interview. I suggest that since you may have some visual tasks during or 
after the interview; things such as personality tests or computer assessment 
tasks. Some employers ask you to write for them, although with a reception 
job, I suspect this will not happen.
Telling them you're blind and may need accomodations such as a reader is  a 
good idea, in my opinion.
But it should not be up to the job placement specialists. The first thing 
they need to find out is about the company, its culture, salary, and 
benefits.
These determine if its  a good fit for you. If it?s a job you feel you could 
do, then go to the next step. Then proceed with the application process 
which usually just means sending in a cover letter and resume.
Some large firms have you apply online.

As to software, I suspect some will work, others will be semi accessible and 
some not at all. It depends on the software. Perhaps this specialist can 
find out what software you will be expected to use and then you can research 
specific software. Having names of software to ask about would be better 
than a generic question about software access as there are so many.

Good luck finding a job.

Hi Listers. This is Leslie and I'm new to the list. I am looking for work as 
a receptionist and was wondering if if you could connect  me with someone 
doing this work. I would like to ask some questions like What software is 
accessible with jaws? How do you know what line is flashing on a big 
switchboard? What do you like most and least about your job? What kind of 
training is required? Describe a typical day. What are your biggest 
challenges? How is your blindness an asset?

I am working with a job placement agency here in IL and the woman working 
with me told me that when she calls companies where I may be a potential 
candidate, the first thing she mentions is the fact that I'm blind.
Something tells me that's not exactly appropriate but I wanted to get some 
input.  It's this woman's first time working with a blind client so she has 
a lot to learn.

That is all I have for now. I look forward to hearing from anyone who can 
help.  Thanks.

Leslie

Being a freight broker is very difficult. There is lots of paperwork that is
signed or filled out and faxed back and forth.
If you are actually a freight broker, there are also several government
requirements. You need certain amounts and types of insurance and surety
bonds, and a freight brokers license from the Federal government.
You are best off starting as a agent for a freight broker. You will operate
under their Federal authority.

Greetings.

Sorry to have run this test. I tried to do this a couple of weeks ago but
shot blanks.

I am looking for someone with billing and coding experience who can direct
me toward practice management software that works with JAWS 11+. I would
also be interested in knowing about any positive or negative experiences
associated with vision-impaired individuals in the B&C field. Thank you in
advance.

of Branford Hall out here on Long Island in 2008, I worked for a Laboratory 
here on Long Island, there software was windows based program so Windoweyes 
and Jaws worked with it, it was there own program. I know that medical 
manager doesn't work with them.
Many of the programs in doctors offices are windows based programs.

Hi.

I appreciate your quick response. I haven't actually begun. I am studying
online at the Ultimate Medical Academy out of Tampa, Florida. Since I got my
foot in the door, they have become very interested in making their
curriculum more accessible, and, in a short time, have moved with a serious
purpose. That includes making preparations to send some of their employees
for JAWS training. They are trying to get information on the best practice
management system program for JAWS users.

Since you've had experience, I would be interested in hearing more of your
thoughts at your convenience.
