Hey everyone.
I hope you’re all keeping well.
I just wanted to ask whether anyone knew of any job hunting apps/websites that are accessible with voiceover?
I’ve tried seek, LinkedIn and Jora before but I’ve not had much success.
Any suggestions would be great

I’ve used both indeed and LinkedIn before. Both are fairly accessible, and LinkedIn even has a nice quick apply feature, which makes things a little easier. Both indeed and LinkedIn also seem to have a pretty robust criteria which is customizable for independent job searches. Finally, both have different kinds of notifications for jobs as they become available based on your criteria.
Hope That helps and good luck in your job search.

Monster.com. careerbuilder.com, are two more. If you want just a side gig, try upwork.com Hope you find something.

Hi Siobhan. Thankyou for your suggestions. I’m trying to apply for a job on Upwork.com but it says I need to buy credits. Is this normal behaviour?

Try indeed. Was accessible last I tried but that was a couple years ago. I think there's more job hunting sites that work reasonably well with screenreaders but I can't remember what they were now. HTH.

Does anyone have experience with this? I attempted to take one of the courses, but was unable to complete it due to scheduling. It was then that I received an email saying that the tool kit would be unavailable for awhile because they were switching to a different platform. I checked back there last week, but was unable to log back in/register due to what appears to be a non-working CAPTCHA. It isn't inaccessible but the checkbox won't work. I'll try again but just wondering if others have ever used this? Regarding the new APH Connect Center, it is very accessible and contains a wealth of information. A friend of my brother now works at APH, and I met him several years ago when he came to town.

I’ve never actually used it but I also saw it was down.
Not sure when it’s going to come back up, if at all
