Disability Interview Strategies – Tip #3

Tip #3:  Be proactive!  Be prepared to demonstrate how you will be able to perform the essential functions of a job with or without an accommodation.  Don’t wait for an employer to ask, especially if your disability is apparent.  Share with confidence how you’ll be able to successfully get the job done and include examples of how past accommodations or modifications have worked to everyone’s advantage.  Your confidence will help dispel any concerns the employer may have.
