Interview mess up

[Lookingforhope20100]

I had an interview today with the city, of the town I live in and I'm so worried I messed up, I told her that I have bipolar disorder and anxiety issues, was that a mistake did I mess up my chance to get a job I really really want at the end I said "despite all my issues I get my work done and I'd love the opportunity to work with you" and then walked onto the elevator she said I will know in the next few days if I get the job or not. she didn't seem that impressed with me so I am sure I didn't get it but it would have a good job to have, all I would have had to do is play with little kids help them with arts and crafts and plan activities to do on slow days. The boss that I have now given me a great reference I just hope it is enough to put me over the top and that I get the job but I didn't put all my eggs in one basket I applied for a few more part-time jobs

Send a thank you email! Nobody does that and it says a lot. Google some examples. You want to be gracious and make your case but not forcefully. If you don't get it look at this interview as practice. I promise you improve with every interview.

Not to be a wet blanket but in the future I would not mention anything related to your mental health unless they bring it up and you feel super comfortable with them. You don't have to feel like you need to do a full disclosure. It's also something that you can consider disclosing later on after you have the job and feel comfortable with and trust your boss and the people you work with but only if you want to.
