Jed,
I haven't been on the Linked In site in a couple months and hadn't seen much
progress at that time, but my acquaintance only took the job late last
fall. I'll try to get online to LinkedIn and message him to find out a
status update.

Wow, what's the status of their site now, is it accessible at all?

Being on LinkedIn is a good professional move. I've been contacted by
recruiters based on my experience. Be aware that this is intended for
professional networking, so you really want to be sure that your profile
looks clean. Don't let the accessibility issues of the site or app
hurt your professional image; ask a sighted person to give your profile a
visual review. Every person should do this, regardless of whether they
are visually impaired. This is an online resume.
While the apps and websites are not greatly accessible, the good news is
that Linked In recently hired a totally blind person to advise them on
accessibility. He's a guy I know from past professional and recreational
activities and I think he'll be a great advocate for us. My recollection
is
that he just moved to the job in last fall. I'll let you all know if I
connect with him and have an update on his attack plan for improving
accessibility.

Yes, you can search for contacts, using criteria like places worked,
schools attended and so on. LinkedIn will also suggest different
people you can connect with. On the LinkedIn page, you can also point
to or upload your contacts from Outlook, Google and so on, and
LinkedIn will see if those people are already on LinkedIn and give you
the chance to connect with them. When you invite someone to connect
with you, after they accept your invitation, you'll get an email that
will also include suggestions from LinkedIn on who in their connections
you might want to connect to.
You can also look at your connection's connections and extend an
invitation to any of them if you want to.

Ricardo and all,
thanks for your reply.
So according to what criteria you can find people on Linked in in
case you want to make some new contacts? Is something like that
possible?
Regards
Maria

Hi,
Yes, there is a linked in app. The accessibility is terrible. I
mean truly atrocious. Linkedin is basically a social network based
on careers and employment. The more your network grows, the more
access you have to other people.

Hello list,
please is there anyone using linked in?
What is this network all about?
Is there Linked in app available for iphone which is accessible for
blind users?
If there is someone using this network, could you please tell me
something more about it?
I created an account on there, but not sure how to use it.
Thanks.
With regards
Maria
