[blindlaw] A question about disclosing disability before going to a job interview

[Paul Harpur]

I would suggest disclosing it up front and ask for an additional 5 minutes to explain how you will operate with a disability.  Have examples of all the successful blind lawyers and some that the people in the firm may know of or know personally.

Subject: [blindlaw] A question about disclosing disability before going to a job interview

Good evening:

I am a recently admitted lawyer to the New York bar and am applying for jobs as an associate at various New York law firms.

Do you think I should disclose the fact that I am blind before going to an interview (usually when I am contacted to schedule the interview) or the best way to go is letting them know at the interview?

Regards.
