If you didn't submit an application on the employer's site, why not?
Popular Reasons for "Other":Login for employer's ATS was not valid, Have not had a chance to apply yet, when I read the full description I realized I was not qualified or faced a work restriction, no openings were available near my location, job description was unrealistic
Accommodation Request
The accommodation statement wasn't easily recognizable
I was unable to access the employer's careers page
The employer was unable to reasonably meet my accommodation
The accommodation statement did not contain up-to-date contact information

If you needed to request an accommodation but were unable to, what was the reason?
Popular Reasons for "Other": Afraid to ask for fear of losing opportunity, told that I was not qualified and so request was not necessary, insensitivity towards a particular disability.
