I'm following up on this notice because I have received some questions about the complex process of using www.att.com/jobs.

If because of a disability you are unable or limited in your ability to apply via att.jobs, you may request reasonable accommodations by sending an e-mail to JobAppAccess at att.com. Mention the job title and number in your e-mail. (See the numbers and brief descriptions in the original message below.)

If you are able, follow these instructions to complete the application (ironically, except for improper use of "alt" tags, this page is probably easier to use with no vision and a screen reader.
	1. From att.jobs, use the Search in the lower right corner to search for “accessibility.”
	2. If you see no results, scroll down. They are just off the screen.
	3. In the list, find and click on
the job title.

	4. Although it might look like you just returned to the top of the page you were already on, scroll down again. You will see the job description in the location where the results of your first search appeared.
	5. Scroll down to the end of the job description. Confirm that the Requisition ID matches the job number you are looking for.
	6. Below the job description, click
“Apply Now.” 
	7. Your browser will open a new window. In most cases, this screen seems to end with what seems to be a footer reading “Welcome. You are not signed in.” at lower left and “Sign in.” at lower right. It is not a footer. Scroll past it, read the privacy policy, and, if you agree, click the “Agree” button below it.
	8. The next screen looks almost exactly like the screen you just left. Scroll all the way to the bottom and click the very last form control, “New User.”
	9. Set up your profile and continue with the job application process.
The good news is that once you have completed a profile, it remains on file, is easy to update, and can be used to apply for any job you feel you are qualified for. Indeed, I've mentioned three positions, but if you read through the list produced when you do that search, you will find openings for system administrators, college interns, and many other positions. You might qualify for one or more!

Best of luck if you choose to apply—and thanks for considering working with AT&T.

AT&T is continuing to expand its accessibility group – the Corporate Accessibility Technology Office (CATO). There are multiple openings in Austin, Texas, for accessibility professionals 
and in major cities nationwide for Web accessibility professionals. Be a part of implementing the new regulations requiring Accessibility in communications products and services.

These regulations are based on the U.S. 21st Century Communications and Video Accessibility Act of 2010. If hired 
into one of these positions, you will help project managers understand the requirements of the CVAA, work compliance with those requirements 
into their projects, and, as also required by the CVAA, document their 
efforts, successes, and work remaining to be done. (And I hope my 
friends at the FCC will pardon me for this gross oversimplification of the CVAA.)

Go to http://att.jobs/ to apply online. To find each of the three types of openings, search for these job numbers: 1334873, 1334887, & 1335058.

            Web Accessibility – Locations Nationwide:
These positions are focused on Web accessibility, browsers, and apps.
  1334873 Professional – Business Mgmt. (Web Accessibility)

Broad Accessibility – Austin, TX:
These positions deal with all facets of accessibility across various types of telecommunications devices and for all types of disabilities.  
  1334887Principal – Product Development Engineer (Shared Services)
  1335058Senior – Product Development Engineer (Shared Services)

The Web site provides a complete job description, including the 
requirements for education, experience, and skills. Once there, you can 
put your resume in for official consideration.

Do not be discouraged by the requirements for specific types of degrees – 
if you are interested and have accessibility skills, pleases do apply.

If you get a message that you do not meet requirements and you are certain that you do – contact me directly at my AT&T address: Cliff_Tyllick [at] labs.att.com. I will forward your concern to the 
respective hiring manager.

AT&T is an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity Employer, and we are 
committed to hiring a diverse and talented workforce. EOE/AA/M/F/D/V
