I'm not sure who everyone complaining is. Even when I got my job at AT&T
there were obsticles to overcome like a typing test in the application
process that I wouldn't have been able to do independently. Then during my
time there I had to deal with accessibility issues.
My son had a job in a virtual call center environment and all he had to do
was go into his office do his calls and when he was done he was done. In a
virtual call center job you literally work from home. You never go to an
office. Your work from home job is different from that.
I'm not sure why you're throwing a tamtrum over Kaye correcting you, but I'm
sure there's someone who might benefit from the post.

You know what, I am not posting anything anymore. I posted something for
everyone. Then everyone complains. That is it.
I guess you don't know who I am either. Have a great day!
After Convention I am done. I am just going to see my friends from NY. Oh
yes, I am also a lifetime member of the NABV.
I am done!

Hi, I don't think you know that much about me, so I'll let you know that I
have over 25 years of call center experience. I have used multiple software
packages, and in fact I have written a class that was published online for
the Internal Revenue Service to teach JAWS users about windows 7.
I have worked for the IRS for 13 years, and in that setting, I have usually
at least 9 windows open at any given time completing various tasks and in a
timely manner. I have been a lead and a manager at different times during my
call center career as well as a trainer. Having said this, when I apply for
a job, I know pretty well when it is accessible.
I don't mean to be rude, but before you decide that a blind person perhaps
does not have the skills to apply for a job, find out about their
background.
I applied with Amazon last year because there are times in my new position
with the IRS that I am on furlough. I'd love to work from home because I
have the office setting, the disciplin, and the self starting ability, but I
found their software to not work well with JAWS because the virtual
environment had images of what the screens may look like and as we all know,
JAWS does not read images.
Have an awesome day, and remember, don't judge a book by it's cover.
Best
Kaye

Just an FYI, when you are working in that environment, you need the skills
to multitask, it isn't just working on a computer.
It isn't as easy as you think it is. It was posted because many blind people
think that a work from home job is the best option, due to whatever the
reason.
FYI, I work a business from home and, you are not always working at home. I
will post about being a Home Based Business.
What I would recommend to others is getting experience, that is the case,
also get out there and learn multiple programs, many of these software
package are accessible. It is just that you never worked on them before.
Pros and Cons to everything in life.

I tried to apply for one of the work from home jobs they posted last year.
Everything was great in the application process until I got to the place
where I had to do a virtual assessment. I had to pretend I was on a call,
which I could hear while documenting an account and answering a question
from my supervisor at the same time. All of this is quite possible using
JAWS, but there system made it inaccessible. It was impossible to navigate
from task to task in their virtual work area. I hope they fix this and allow
blind people to apply for these jobs.
