Site: Snag A Job (http://www.snagajob.com/)
Reviewed: December 2003

Overview:

Snag a Job is dedicated to helping job seekers find full or part-time hourly employment. They are partnered with several nationwide employers, such as Chuck E. Cheese, WalMart, U.S. Army, etc. Users can create an online profile which is forwarded to hiring managers upon request.

Accessibility:

Accessibility is fair across the site, and could be made much better simply by adding appropriate alternate text for all images. Dragon NaturallySpeaking users must be particularly adept, using "Click Image" commands to activate image links, rather than relying on speaking the text shown on the image. Screen reader users should be able to use the site without problems, except for the registration area, which could create some confusion because of the order certain information is requested. Reading order is not logical on most pages, forcing users to hear everything in the right-column first, then the left column, and finally the middle column (main content area). This does not render the site unusable, but does make it frustrating for screen reader users who cannot efficiently navigate the site.
