After over eight years, my journey with Fable (makeitfable.com) has come to an end. I’ve worked full time at Fable since the beginning: back when Fable only worked with Canadian screen reader users. Over that time, Fable grew from a three person company to the enterprise it is today, expanded its human-first accessibility testing and research offerings to The United States and The United Kingdom, widened the circle to work with users of screen magnification, voice control, eye gaze and switch systems, and many other assistive technologies. We were also the first to begin working to bring the community of users with cognitive challenges into accessibility research and testing. During that time, I’ve had the privilege to work in every part of the organization, doing everything from public speaking, to community management, to writing and thought leadership, to technical and engineering work. It’s been a long and winding road, with many life-changing experiences and milestones along the way. But now it’s time for me to find my next chapter. I’m not sure what it will be, yet, but I’m open to exploring all opportunities. If you’ve got an opening anywhere in the digital accessibility and inclusion space, do feel free to get in touch! #a11y #accessibility #fedihired #getfedihired

@fastfinge Wishing you the best.

@fastfinge Shit dude, I'm sorry man!

@simon @fastfinge honestly would love to help them out, they're doing exactly what I'd love to be doing but unfortunately I'm in Europe which seems to be an unovercomeable barrier. Hope you'll find something soon :)

@fastfinge Perhaps you could work with the Blind Institute of Technology? They have a digital accessibility track, they're consultants who do audits and they have courses where they bring up new people to train them about digital accessibility auditing and an apprenticeship program where those people get to work under them in that consultancy role. Sounds like you'd make a great project lead or teacher.

@x0 My understanding was that bits is US only though. Unfortunately I’m Canadian.

@fastfinge One of their project leads is from Masidonia, the highest one of them on the Salesforce side in fact. And they have some teachers in Europe too, I know there was an international cohort last year.

@x0 Oh, good to know! If it’s international I’ll at least join.

@fastfinge @x0 Yup, tis international. I'm a member. They still haven't implemented my underwear idea with the words "cover your bits"..
