I'm following up on this notice because I have received some questions about the complex process of using www.att.com/jobs.

If because of a disability you are unable or limited in your ability to apply via att.jobs, you may request reasonable accommodations by sending an e-mail to <EMAIL REMOVED> . Mention the job title and number in your e-mail. (See the numbers and brief descriptions in the original message below.)


If you are able, follow these instructions to complete the application (ironically, except for improper use of "alt" tags, this page is probably easier to use with no vision and a screen reader.
1. From att.jobs, use the Search in the lower right corner to search for “accessibility.”
2. If you see no results, scroll down. They are just off the screen.
3. In the list, find and click on
the job title.

4. Although it might look like you just returned to the top
of the page you were already on, scroll down again. You will see the job description in the location where the results of your first search
appeared.
5. Scroll down to the end of the job description. Confirm
that the Requisition ID matches the job number you are looking for.
6. Below the job description, click
“Apply Now.”
7. Your browser will open a new window. In most cases, this
screen seems to end with what seems to be a footer reading “Welcome. You are not signed in.” at lower left and “Sign in.” at lower right. It is
not a footer. Scroll past it, read the privacy policy, and, if you agree, click the “Agree” button below
it.
8. The next screen looks almost exactly like the screen you
just left. Scroll all the way to the bottom and click the very last form control, “New User.”
9. Set up your profile and continue with the job application process.
The good news is that once you have completed a profile, it remains on file, is easy to update, and can be used to apply for any job you feel you are qualified for. Indeed, I've mentioned three positions, but if you read through the list produced when you do that search, you will find openings for system administrators, college interns, and many other positions. You might qualify for one or more!

Best of luck if you choose to apply—and thanks for considering working with AT&T.
