I'd say it depends more on the employer than the actual job. IE: I did tech support for about a year and a half with Dell, and had no problems. However were I hired on for same position with HP, it might have been a different story. It's largely due to the individual programs being used by said employers. Yes, there is often times some resistance when it comes to installing JAWS on their systems, but I find that to be a secondary issue, as instalation of the software is really only half the problem of workplace accessibility.

First off, there's always great information on this list. My question is jaws related, but it is not related to a specific jaws issue. I'm trying to find employment here in my area, and wondered how many folks are successful in using jaws at your work site. What types of jobs do most of you have, and how are technitions with the idea that you use jaws. I ask this because, I have run into several issues where management is a little scared of having someone install software on their computers. Just trying to find out some information, so I can know how to deal with those types of questions, should they come up in an interview. Please feel free to e-mail me off-list, so as not to clutter up the list. Thanks very much!
