Make sure you check out the open positions at the colleges and universities in your state. They are usually affirmative action employers and they tend to draw people who are open-minded about hiring someone with a disability. I live in Madison, Wisconsin, and around here, linux systems admins can write their own ticket. I've seen jobs go unfilled for months because of a dirth of qualified candidates.

Hello,
I have been subscribed to this list for quite some time but haven't posted much. My name is Mike, and I graduated with a B.S. degree in IT about a year and a half ago. I have been struggling to get a job in IT to start my career. I am now in the process of studying for my CompTIA A+ certification, and then I'm going to start studying for MCSA. I was fortunate enough to ge able to get these costs covered by my state rehab agency. I have a few questions about starting my career, and am mainly looking for pointers, tips, tricks, etc. Would you agree that I'm getting the correct certs? My goal is to specialise in sysadmin or network admin. What general tips, tricks, and pointers do you have? What screen reader have you found works best to have on a thumb drive for accessing other systems? What other tools and techniques have you found useful?
Any help and info you can provide is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance, Mike _______________________________________________ Blind-sysadmins mailing list -- blind-sysadmins@lists.hodgsonfamily.org To unsubscribe send an email to blind-sysadmins-leave@lists.hodgsonfamily.org
