[blindlaw] Advice for interviews:Re: blindlaw Digest, Vol 31, Issue 1

[LockeMilholland]

Congratulations on the interviews.  I advise selling yourself to the 
prospective employer with your accomplishments unrelated to any visual 
problems.  When the conversation turns towards blindness and how you will 
perform the work, they are more likely to look at it from the attitude of, 
how can we make this work than is it going to be worth it when I could hire 
someone else.

When the conversation does turn towards accomodations, never hesitate with 
the answer on how you willperform the work.  Have an answer ready for the 
hypothetical scenario that you don't know how you would accomodate.


If you are interviewing in Raleigh, NC, I also advise mentioning this guy 
named Locke, who, if they have another position, would be a valued addition.

~Locke.

P.S. Learning from recent celebrity mistakes, don't show up drunk, don't 
flip off the interviewer, and if you get asked some tough questions, don't 
go on a racist rant. (courtesy Devito, Vic, and Kramer respectively)
