Hello lovelies! Today on the channel I talked about going to interviews when you have a disability and my personal experiences with them.
There are a few things I will touch on in this post and things I touched on in the video.
- Whether to mention your disability or not.
- If you're going to mention it, how to properly mention it to the interviewer.
- What to do beforehand to prepare for your interview.
My own personal thing that I ALWAYS do before a job interview is PRACTICE!
My stutter makes it difficult to always set a good first impression. And the more I stutter in front of the interviewer, the more my nerves make my stutter worse.
There have been several articles that have tips and talk about whether you need to mention your disability or not. The ADA has made it so that they can't ask about your disability they can only ask about your ABILITIES.
Here are a few links to some articles I've found
Disclosing Your Disability
Interview Confidence for Workers with Disabilities
To Disclose or Not?
Guidelines for THE INTERVIEWER
What are your tips and experiences with going to job interviews? I'd love to know!
