Hey. Yes, I signed up today. It wasn't so bad, though now that I'm all set, I'm a bit overwhelmed by all the stuff on the main page. I'll figure it out though. Yeah, those kind of drop-down boxes where you have to select multiple items especially can be an issue. I didn't see one like that here, but on the Government of Canada's job bank site, there was one which gave me trouble. I actually much preferred signing up to Linkedin to joining that Job Bank site, and all government stuff is supposed to be totally accessible. Go figure.
The only thing that I'm not sure actaully worked was when I entered in the name of my former employer company. It came up with two matches and I guess I was supposed to select one. But when I tried, the company information just disappeared from the screen. I have no idea. Haha....ah well. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Naomi Bolter Sent: February 22, 2018 5:57 PM To: 'jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com' Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Thoughts on LinkedIn When I went to enter in my job information, some of the drop down boxes did not work. But I am using Internet explorer and an old windows, being a work pc, so this may have been the issue rather than Jaws and Linked in. Good luck though, just have a good play around with it, it really is much better than it was 6 years ago when I first tried.

That's good to hear. I didn't get a chance to play with it today because I was having connectivity issues til late in the evening and had to go out. What would you say *doesn't* work so well, then? -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Naomi Bolter Sent: February 21, 2018 11:30 PM To: 'jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com' Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Thoughts on LinkedIn Hi there, I just reactivated myself on linked in, it is not fabulous, but is workable with jaws 16. I am able to edit my profile, access most of the drop down lists to update job etc. I think with a bit of playing around you will be just fine.

The time has come for me to join this service. Of course, I'll be conducting my own investigations, starting today. I just wondered if anybody had thoughts, observations, and so on, about this site "for professional social networking. Any accessibility, usability, and so on - type concerns I should beware of? I did look at the site some years ago and remember thinking it was a bit messy. At the time I figured I really had no need for it. Well, things have changed, so I'm going to have to get on-board whether I like it or not.
