Excellent clarification, Justin. Indeed, if all that happens is you having to answer questions, you do not want to prematurely start talking about accommodations.

Prepare to use all surprises to your advantage. If they ask you: "was it difficult to find our office." Use that as an invitation to educate by referring to capturing the train, the fact that you allotted sufficient time to ensure that you got there on time, etc.. you are interviewing. Every interaction from the time you enter the building is part of the interview, use it to your advantage. Rod, Rod Alcidonis, Esq. -----Original Message-----

You only get accommodations if necessary during the interview process, or when you get the job.

If you will have to take a test at the time of the interview then ask them about accommodations in advance. However, if the interview is just that, asking and answering questions, then I would ask about accommodations during the interview. All of my work history was with the Federal government and they always had accommodations available. Good luck with the interview.

I currently only have a desktop, but am willing to obtain a laptop. I am assuming that I cannot expect any interview accommodations, and that I should be prepared. Any thoughts? Thank you, Mike |
