Illinois Jobs is a search site devoted to jobs within the state of Illinois. A variety of services, such as a section dedicated to career resources and other articles related to the job hunt, are available to job seekers. The site also lists virtual job fairs, and gives the job seeker the option to search by jobs by company, industry, and location.
The site is fairly accessible. It would have received a significantly higher rating if it had alternate text for the images. Only one image on the home page has alternate text and and that text does not match the image’s text as displayed on the screen. The lack of alt text on the images will make the site difficult, though not impossible, for screen reader users to navigate effectively. The addition of a "skip navigation" link would aid keyboard and screen reader users in bypassing repetitive navigation. Other users of assistive technologies will be able to browse the site with little or no problem.
