Alyssa ErvenTo my #Blind current and future jobseekers out there, please take the time to learn to use a computer. Especially if you are in school, resist the urge to just use your iPad or notetaker. Most workplaces require computer skills, preferably using Windows at least here in the U.S. Thank you for reading my unsolicited words of wisdom.
The Witchy Bitches@alyssa6595 Currently having this discussion with one of my high school students and his justification is that since I don't do it, he doesn't have to do it and I said the difference is I can do it and I choose not to that is different than not being able to.
Andre Louis@pawpower @alyssa6595 Now imagine the fussing and fighting I had with a young lady that had to learn to use Logic, was only used to using a braille note-taker and hated the idea of computing?... Right.
@FreakyFwoof @pawpower @alyssa6595 I feel your pain. I had to train a client last school year who was very similar. Not with logic, but her school work was on microsoft and/or another online platform, and she was just insistant her Braille Note Touch was easier and wanted little to nothing to do with her laptop.
@Mendi_Tech @pawpower @alyssa6595 You ain't going to have fun in university/college with that attitude. I had to gently tell her so, even her mother who was in the room agreed.
@FreakyFwoof @pawpower @alyssa6595 Yep, and I attended her case conference, and her dad definitely was not pleased when we reported her behavior, we meaning myself and her teacher of record.
