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.
And to anyone who's curious, I was attached at the hip to my BrailleNote in high school. I swore it would need to be pried from my cold dead hands. Then the rest of life happened. I knew enough computer basics to survive, but have learned so much as an adult because I didn't take the time to do so as a student, even though my teachers pushed me to do just that.
@alyssa6595 Oh yeah, I loved my note takers, but I’m so thankful that my teachers pushed me to also use the computer. That was not common even back then.
