[NFBK] Remote Customer Solutions Rep Position

[Lonnie Swafford - NFBKY]

This is an excellent opportunity!

 

After the first day of orientation and equipment has been obtained, the
candidate would work from home. This of course can help expand the position
to those around the state who live reasonably close to a KU office. As most
are aware, LG&E and KU have gone to great effort to ensure accessibility and
accommodations for the blind and I wanted to pass this on for anyone who may
want to apply. Please feel free to contact me with questions. After
applying, you would want to ensure the company is aware you require
accommodations for those using screen reader or screen enlargement software.
