[Rehab] FW: AppleOne

[Dick Davis]

Dear list members and members of the Employment Committee,



Valerie Yingling, the paralegal at the National Center for the Blind, is
collecting information about the accessibility of online job search engines
and pre-employment assessments offered by companies.  I asked her about
Apple One.  Would those of you who brought the issues regarding it to my
attention please email or call Valerie with more detail?



I am also asking those of you who are on the Employment Committee and in
the field of rehabilitation in general to report any problems you or your
clients encounter with accessibility.  This is the first step to the NFB
contacting those organizations and working with them on making their
employment systems accessible.  (Or maybe suing them if they fail to
cooperate>



Best wishes,

Dick Davis, Chair

NFB Employment Committee

Hi Dick,



I’ve not heard of any issues regarding AppleOne, but welcome feedback from
members. In fact, could you post the following to the employment committee
listserv?


Job Search Engines and Pre-Employment Testing

The NFB is investigating the accessibility of job search engines and
pre-employment assessments offered by companies including AppleOne, Zip
Recruiter, Caliper, and Indeed. If you have encountered access barriers
while searching or applying for a job, please contact Valerie Yingling at
vyingling at nfb.org or 410-659-9314, extension 2440.



Thanks,

Valerie

Hi Valerie,

Do you have any information on AppleOne?  Any blind people have problems
working with them?

Thanks,
