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.
@alyssa6595 I guess I mistakenly assumed that at least the younger blind crowd loved any type of technology. I guess that's not always the case and might not be for older folks?
@DavidGoldfield @alyssa6595 Well, some of the young people I see at our agency have spent many years dictating to their iPads or iPhones so they have no idea how to spell or type. Drives us all absolutely bonkers. Why their families and school systems would do them such a disservice and let them carry on this way as beyond me. I will never forget how Adi Kushnir said that in Israel he was taught to use a computer starting at the age of nine with Jaws and Microsoft products. Heck, even if it was NVDA, I don't care. You're not getting a job by dictating to your iPhone!
