Disability Interview Strategies – Tip #2

Tip #2:  When you are scheduling an interview, be sure to ask up front what the process involves (e.g. Will testing of any sort occur?  How will the tests be administered?  Where will the interview occur?).  If you do require an accommodation at the initial interview, ask the employer as far ahead of time as possible.  Don’t wait until the last minute!  Be open to other suggested accommodations by the employer if they would satisfactorily meet your needs.  Remember, an employer is not required to provide you with the exact accommodation you request.  Show your openness during this interactive process.
