[nagdu] IRS Training-- Is Lions World Horror the only way

[Cathryn Bonnette]

Thank you for the info. I think the 30 day eval is a deal breaker for me.
That is an extremely lengthy period for mere evaluation. I'm sure it helps
to keep the program going.

Best,

Cathryn (& Abby)

Hello:

     In case you haven't done this, I suggest you send your inquiry to the 
jobs or office professionals list. One thing you should know about Lions 
World Services for the Blind (LWSB), in order to get into one of their 
training programs, you have to go for a 30 day evaluation. When I did this 
in 2009, I completed the evaluation in less than two weeks. The evaluation 
consisted of a series of tests to see if I could read braille, type, use a 
calculator, cook a meal, make a bed, sew on a button, pack a suitcase, use 
JAWS, use a cane, and read an article and write a short paper. You want to 
make sure that the IRS is actually hiring LWSB graduates. During the 
training, you can check out the facilities for yourself and talk with the 
other students. Hope this helps.

Regards,

Robert Jaquiss
