The question I would raise is "should your cv reveal disability?" In most
cases the disability would be evident during the interview or written exam
stage. But I certainly do believe that the employer must be made aware of
the disability before he signs on the dotted line.

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
