>> Dear J.J. and All,

>> My point was not that technically it is not duable, but rather, a .pdf,

>> 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

>> 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.
