What does that have to do with the original requirement of a PDF?

>>>>> Dear J.J. and All,
>>>>>
>>>>> My point was not that technically it is not duable, but rather, a 
>>>>> .pdf, or print, faxed version of a resume can be problematic for blind 
>>>>> folks who do not have access to all the latest and greatest in 
>>>>> technology. It also goes to the fact that creating say a .pdf file has 
>>>>> noting to do with the essential functions of the jobs at issue.
>>>>>
>>>>> Regardless a well put together Word document should not be an issue 
>>>>> for them at Leader Dog.
>>>>>
>>>>> What is troubling to me is this appears to have a prejudice of visual 
>>>>> form over substance at its core.
>>>>>
>>>>> It might seem subtle, and even trite, but it is very typical.
>>>>>
>>>>> For what these potential employers aresaying is they want visually 
>>>>> pleasing resumes and value that over the real substance of one's 
>>>>> abilities in a given feild.
>>>>>
>>>>> Shifting gears however it does go to show that we, who are blind 
>>>>> desperately need advanced technical training in all the latest and 
>>>>> greatest to be competative.
>>>>>
>>>>> We, for the most part including myself are not so. And we for the most 
>>>>> part, including myself cannot afford to keep up. I am living with a 
>>>>> six year old computer with Jaws 6.2, for example and cannot afford to 
>>>>> upgrade right now. I will be getting an I-phone as soon as Verizon 
>>>>> gets the new one in, perhaps on December 9.
>>>>>
>>>>> Anyway, one thing exciting is that the MCB TC will be upgrading its 
>>>>> tech component and we should all be able to access that component 
>>>>> being critical for not only employment prospects but even independent 
>>>>> living in the 21st century.
