Disability???

[Deleted]

Hi there,
I have a question, when filling in job application forms, there is a section that says do you consider yourself to have a dissability? What does everyone put down if you don't mind me asking?

Thanks
Katy

Hi Katy
I would leave it blank and then if you get to the interview stage then bring it up,

I am looking for a part time job at the moment and the silliest question i have had so far is "did you ever lie to your parents when you were young"

Good luck witht the job search.

Hi Kitty, Abi, one of our CIPD qualified volunteers is putting together a leaflet about this for us. In the meantime she has written an answer to another of our members which I can ask her to forward to you if you let me know your email address. Please get back to me on the contact form of the website or by email at 'A PID Organisations Email' if you would like this help. The other helpful site is at the disability rights association where you will find a leaflet called "doing careers differently. if you go to page 55 and it gives you some advice, but Abi's advice is far more specific to us. Once she has this in a form ready to publish it will go up on the website, in the meantime she is happy to help people on an individual email basis if you contact us as above.
