[NAGDU] FW: [Njagdu] Taking a Service Animal to a Job Interview: Public Access or Reasonable Accommodation?

[David]

A store is space that is open to the public and if your interview is out 
in public space, then you would not have to request an accommodation.  
On the other hand, an office is usually private space, not public space, 
and a reasonable accommodation may needed if the employer chooses to get 
picky about it.  Nearly all interviews will be held in private space.  I 
would think that most employers would not get too bent out of shape 
about bringing your guide dog to an interview.  If they did, I'd suspect 
that they might not be very welcoming to service animals and despite 
your legal right to a reasonable accommodation, getting a job offer 
could be an uphill battle.
