No, you wouldn't get fired. Because of the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act), it would be illegal for an employer to fire you due to any medical issue.

I believe this could be grounds to be fired. You must identify your handicap especially if the application asks for it. Falsifying the information is not recommended. Besides who wants to work in a place that you have to be secret.

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.
