Greetings from the Land of Enchantment!
We at the New Mexico Commission for the Blind Orientation Center in
Alamogordo are seeking two new team members. The Orientation Center is
approved as a Structured Discovery Cane Travel center by the National

Commission's Vocational Rehabilitation program.
We are recruiting to fill two Blindness Skills Instructor vacancies for
Personal Management and Computers and Assistive Technology classes. The
positions are assigned to the Orientation Center located in Alamogordo, New
Mexico. These positions have the same job purpose as the instructors often
need to cover similar material and work together to promote skill
development.

Applications are accepted through the New Mexico State Personnel Office
online application system only!
Although the online application system indicates that it does not support
the Firefox browser, it seems that Firefox works best for applicants using
screen reader technology.
Note to screen reader users: Recent updates to this online application
utility have made it very difficult to complete independently using screen
reading technology. Screen reader users who experience difficulty with the
application utility should notify Ms. Andrea Rivera-Smith of the State
Personnel Office @ (505) 695-5606 for assistance. She can also confirm
that your application (including uploaded transcripts, certificates, etc.)
has been successfully received for consideration.
Please pay particular attention to question 2 in the Specific Supplemental
Questions section: How many years of experience do you have RELATED to the
PURPOSE of this position?
Minimum qualifications for this position are at least two years of related
experience. Be sure that if you indicate that you have two years of
experience that is related to the purpose of the position, that you clearly
describe *at least* two years of full-time equivalent related experience in
the Work History section of the online application. Similarly, if you
indicate in this question that you have five years of experience related to
the purpose of the position, you must describe *at least* five years of
full-time equivalent experience in the Work History section. Regardless of
the number of years of related experience that you claim to have in answer
to this question, you will be disqualified if you do not substantiate that
number of years in the Work Experience section of the application, even if
you described at least the minimum number of years required. For example,
if you claim five years of related experience, but only describe four years
of related experience, you will be disqualified even though you have at
least two years of related experience (two years being the minimum require
for this particular position).
