Well, if you require reasonable accommodation, or rather enabling environment, disability has to be revealed, there is no choice, I believe...

Hi Srinivasu, We have had this discussion several times before though I would be curious to know what, if anything Indian law says on this matter. The article also states: "As you mention, the ADA prohibits hiring managers from asking job candidates any medical questions, and the consensus among legal experts in this field is that you're under no obligation to bring up the subject in an interview, unless you have reason to believe it could affect your ability to do your job. And there's the rub. Since you managed to work around your condition in your last job, do you think you could do the same in a new position? Or do you have reason to believe it will be harder this time around (for example, if the illness has gotten more severe, or the episodes more frequent)?" PL] In my experience, it is not so much whether you believe that your disability will impact your job. It is all about the employer's perception. I see no easy answer to that problem. <chuckle You know, people say that you are sized in the first 3 minutes. So, is the problem as simple as doing something to shatter that perception in the first 3 minutes? <grin Pranav Search for old postings at: http://www.mail-archive.com/accessindia@accessindia.org.in/ To unsubscribe send a message to accessindia-requ...@accessindia.org.in with the subject unsubscribe.
