Yes. Fastest way—and whenever it seems like the link has taken you nowhere, SCROLL DOWN (the relevant information is often hidden below a false bottom):
1. Go to http://att.jobs/.
2. Search for "accessibility." (Apologies for earlier instructions to search on job numbers.)
3. Look in the list (scroll down!) for these job titles:
* Professional – Business Management (Web Accessibility) [says it's in Dallas only because that's AT&T headquarters. Actually location flexible, across the U.S.]
* Principal – Product Development Engineer (Shared Services) [Don't be dissuaded by "Engineer" in the title, but this position is in Austin, TX—not nationwide. See below.]
* Senior – Product Development Engineer (Shared Services) [Don't be dissuaded by "Engineer" in the title, but this position is in Austin, TX—not nationwide. See below.]
4. Click a job title. The link will take you to a full description of that job, including qualifications. [Remember: Scroll down!]
5. If salary information is essential, e-mail me and I will give you the address of our recruiter in Human Resources. (All I'm allowed to say is that it made me ecstatic on my move from a state job that paid better than most state jobs pay.)

6. Do not be discouraged by the requirements for specific types of degrees –
if you are interested and have accessibility skills, please do apply.
7. To apply, look for "Apply Now." This takes you through the process of registering and then building your profile. [Again I stress: Scroll down!]
8. You will get an e-mail confirming that your profile has been built. Hooray! But don't stop.
9. If the system logged you out, log back in.
10. Find the job again and choose to apply for it. [I forget how this interface works and, as an insider, don't have any way of seeing it.]
11. Complete the relevant questionnaires.
12. Complete the online equivalent of signing your application.
13. Submit your application.
14. If you're interested in more than one position, complete steps 10 through 13 for each of the other positions that pique your interest.
These openings will remain posted through May 8.

Best of luck, if you choose to apply.
