Intended for job-seekers who have disabilities not necessarily noticeable during an employment interview (dyslexia, dysgraphia, auditory perception problems), this well-done tape forthrightly addresses a variety of concerns. When, if ever, should a candidate "disclose" a disability to an employer? What are a job-seeker's legal rights under the ADA? What happens if a disability is not disclosed, and an employer finds out? Via a series of straightforward, entertaining vignettes, viewers are given a basic knowledge of the interview process, and offered insightful tips for emphasizing their abilities, whether or not they choose to disclose. The interview routine is not easy: finding out information about companies and their policies, and discovering the exact duties of specific jobs, can be burdensome and time-consuming, and making decisions about disclosure can be difficult. This tape/booklet set helps provide sensible, realistic suggestions to aid job-hunters, and includes many phone numbers of relevant agencies. Highly recommended. Aud: H, C, P. (K. Glaser)
