Re: [epilepsy] LOOKING FOR A JOB



Yeah, I've had obstacles in finding employment.  I'm GA certified to teach preK-5 grade.  I've gone through a few interviews, but I almost always have a panic attack and then a seizure during the interview.  The stress is just too much for me to handle.  One school (the school that I'm currently employed at) even called EMS during my interview.  It wasn't a total disaster though. The principal was nice enough to hire me as a paraprofessional instead of a teacher.  This fall will start my third year as a parapro in special education for Clarke County School District (www.clarke.k12.ga.us).  I enjoy the position I have, so I may just have to settle for less.  Also, because of education budget cuts, no one is hiring new teachers (no one in Georgia anyway).  When the opportunity comes, I'll interview for a teacher position again, but for now, I'll just be thankful for the job that I have.

Hello all,
I was just wondering for those of you who can or want to be employed have you ran into any obsticales in finding employment and when do you tell a prospective employer about your epilepsy?
