[Jobs] A note on work from home jobs.

[Jessica]

so I've been updated on the status of alpine access.  One of the managers in 
their hr department talked to me and said the main reason they are not 
accessible with screen readers is because they themselves don't use software 
but they use software of the companies they represent.  So for example, if 
doing work for 1-800 flowers, they use the software provided by 1-800 
flowers.  However, I don't see that as a reason to not try, I'm still going 
to see if I can interview and possibly get through it, even if it takes a 
little scripting for jaws to work.
That's the furthest I have on that.
Cheers
Jess
