Re: Re: [epilepsy] LOOKING FOR A JOB



Yeah, you don't want to say anything about epilepsy until you get hired.  After you are hired, wait at least a week, and then tell your employer.  Discuss this issue in a professional manner.  Sit down (possibly in an office), and let him/her know what epilepsy is and what to do if/when you have a seizure.  Document when and what you told him/her.

Nancy, if you live in the US, it is covered under the Americans with Disibilities Act. They can not use that as a reason to not hire you.

I was wondering the same thing.  If you tell them they will not hire you. You can not do anything about it.
