Job seeker disability? None of your business!
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
The U.S. Census reports that close to one in five Americans have some type of disability.
Many of these individuals are not working. This makes you wonder if you are one of the people that are seeking work with a disability, how should you handle it in your job search?
You shouldn’t handle it at all unless it will affect your performance.
If your disability does not affect you performing the job you are applying for it is wise not to mention the disability.
Under the Americans with Disabilities Act, you do not have to say anything.
So it is business as usual, with no guilt for job seekers with a disability when applying for a position which you can perform.
