Hi Kartik and all,
Kartik, I think we are in substantial agreement here. Both of us would like
to be assessed solely by our qualifications and ability to get the
Hello Folks,
Good discussion!
I fully agree with Rahul and Preeti Mam. I did disclose my disability
in my resume and in my covering letter I did mention about my
achievements.
I strongly feel that we must give pointers to the employer to think
deep and to come back to us. We bring a different an

Hi,
I Second Kartik's opinion.
While I have mentioned indirectly about my disability in my resume, at
the start of my career I mentioned that I am a 100% blind individual
in the telephonic round. What I observed then was that with the
mention of my disability an attitude was already formed which
Hi Rahul,
All of these points make complete sense. As I said before, there is no
absolute correct answer here, and it'll be unfair to generalize. One
needs to evaluate the pros and cons given a particular industry,
company or opportunity. Just as how your experiences are completely
different from
I strongly concur with Kartik. I am here in U.S. since 2005. After
completing my Ph.D., in Special Education from a tier 1 research
institution, I secured a tenure-track faculty position in a public
research-intensive university. I would prefer to go to the job market
with my skills and credenti
Hi Rahul,
Your points are interesting but I still maintain what I said before.
Let's say I am applying for a software engineering position. do I want
the employer to be impressed by all that I have done despite my
disability, or be impressed by my academic or professional
accomplishments alone? No
Rahul,
I second Kartik's approach. As for careful consideration, sorry, that does
not happen in my experience. The reality is that your CV will be first
considered by human resources who usually do not have a clue about how you
will fit into the workplace. It then goes to your potential manager wh

Kartik, it is certainly a personal decision, but I definitely believe that
there is great value to be gained by making a case, in your job application,
for the proposition that you have achieved a significant amount of success,
assuming you have, despite your disability. In this way, you are abl
Hi,
I too follow the practice of indirectly disclosing my disability
through my Resume. Per my experience most people are unexposed to what
persons with disability can accomplish with assistive technology.
Hence, disclosing the same in a telecon or email may lead to
unnecessary apprehensions and co
Hi,
This is a very personal decision in my opinion. A resume is meant to
highlight some of the most important things you'd like to tell about
yourself to a potential employer. If you decide that disability is one
of those things, then sure, it should be included. However, if you
think that disabil
