Usually it is the...Great question for an interview! Usually it is the job seeker that is thinking about that question. I can't imaging anyone not being able to "turn it around." That is one of the first things my mom taught me, "Put yourself in the other persons shoes, and look at it from their perspective." So, is that advise out of date now?<BR/><BR/>My problem with stereotyping is my disabilities are hidden, not invisible, they sure show up on the MRI. It goes like this, "I am sorry, I can't stand at that low table, balance this lunch tray, and fill out an application all at the same time, as I am disabled." response, "you look like you can walk just fine to em!"<BR/><BR/>I complain, and ask for the application form: "She was demanding more information than necessary that I prove my disability, and wouldn't give me the form and let me sit while filling it out." response from acting manager, "She didnt discriminate against you, she didn't ask you to prove you were disabled at all, she told you you have to stand in the line!"<BR/><BR/>Result: She also didn't provide me with the application form, so I got no lunch and no application; BUT I wasn't asked to prove my disability, or was I?<BR/><BR/>I will be sure to wear my wheelchair the next time!

I've blown plenty and had to skip others this summer due to anxiety so heavy I couldn't walk out the door. <BR/><BR/><BR/>But I never thought of the difficulty from the other side when confronted by someone so collossaly unfit for a given position.<BR/><BR/>Lucky I haven't ever been an interviewer. I would have busted out laughing too many times.imfunnytoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12942406430628029505noreply@blogger.com
