Pre-interview nerves

4 Replies

Today I am driving myself to a job interview. I am between jobs. It has been months, since I left my old job. I feel like I will not get the job. Even if I do get it, that comes with it's own worries. Should I mention my ADHD in the interview? One of the people I listed as a reference knows that I have ADHD.

No, I would not mention it. If you feel comfortable mention that you prefer work that has variety and ability to move around (if that feels safe to say). Employers have no clue how to respond when someone says they have ADHD.

I agree with getting it together. I went to work at a disability resource center and I thought that they would be understanding there and my boss who was challenging to say the least did not understand why I needed to bring a legal pad to write down info for an assignment.

How did the interview go??

Thank you all so much. As far as I can tell it went ok. I go in to fill out the legal documents today. I have to bring 2 forms of proof of identity.
