So the job is a research assistant in a psychology lab. Part of my job
will to be using Qualtrics to create surveys but that is not
accessible. Even so, I sure know how to create a survey. The same with
Mendley, a reference classification system. Again I've read it's not
accessible, but I can certainly classify documents. I have that brain
power.

1. Since all the recruiting is on Zoom, I don't think they know I'm
blind. Should I tell them or should not tell them unless I'm hired to
protect myself?
2. Does anyone know of any accessible JAWS alternatives to Qualtrics
and/or Mendeley?
3. What are my options? I know I can use AIRA (for a fee) or a reader.
Or I can put the information in Microsoft Word or ExCel for others to
put in the software? Are there any other ideas?

Thank you so much.

Best,
