My husband, father & I talked about this and we all agree that it is something that needs to be stated when u have the interview. I was a secretary for 5 years, then a Engineer Technician. I worked hard, I was very honest. I was very good at my work and well respected. You know some jobs do have you go through a medical process before you work. Honesty is such an amazing things. If whom you are applying for the job and they can not accept the fact, then it's not the job for you. That's just how I feel. Cause I'm not someone who lies, specially when it comes to work. If it's found out you are looking at a great deal/feeling of disrespect. Not good. Specially if you try to upgrade your job.

Ashley,
I agree with Lizard. I have already posted that I told the truth once and didn't get the job. Since then I've always lied and winged it, I don't think most people really understand that each person's epilepsy is unique. Insurance companies rule who works and create broad definitions that do not reflect reality. It's all about liability. I would like to hear from those people who do work with employers knowing about their seizures. What kind of work do you do? Are there departmental areas or production areas that you cannot go into?
