I Hope They'll Hire Me! Advising Students about Job Interviews and Requesting Workplace Accommodatio

Whether interviewing for internships, summer jobs, on-campus employment, or post-graduation employment, students with disabilities often wonder: should I tell the interviewer about the accommodations I'll need on the job? Will it hurt my chances of being hired? If I don't bring it up now, is it dishonest? And once on the job, students are often unsure how to request accommodations. And what if a student needs to request accommodations for the interview itself? How do they ask for those? This webinar will equip disability and career office personnel to answer student questions about how and when to disclose their disability-related needs to potential and current employers. It will highlight the differences between the interactive processes in the educational setting versus the professional environment. The panel will also include students, who will share their experiences about self-advocacy in the workplace. Invite your Career Office colleagues to join you for this informative session!
