In my opinion, one should mention his/her disability in the CV, because you
should always be clear in your part. Don't give chance to other to question
you.
Likewise also even if you mention your disability in your CV, no consultant
checks or has time to review your whole CV. So during your interview you
have to disclose your disability.
Regarding the interviewer rejecting your CV on your disability basis,
totally depends on his/her mentality.
I have mentioned my disability under the last section of Personal details in
my CV.

Subject: [AI] Disclosing disability in CV
Dear Friends,
We recently had a discussion on whether we should disclose our disability
during the ongoing national census. I wish to know the members' viewpoints
on disclosure of disability in job interviews in cases where there is no
reservation.
I seek the members' views on the following queries.
1.. Whether we should disclose our disability in the CV sent to
prospective employers, job consultants or posted on various job portals?
2.. In case we decide to disclose our disability in the CV, where should
it be disclosed? Assuming the CV has 4 sections - General Information,
Educational record, work experience & salary details, where should the
disability be disclosed & in what manner?
3.. In case we are called for a job interview, should we check in advance
whether the company will be willing to consider us inspite of our
disability? This query is more relevant in case we have not disclosed our
disability in the CV since some blind friends who had not disclosed their
blindness were refused permission even to appear for the interview when
they reached the employer's office. Also, it has been observed that
inspite of disclosing disability, interviewers tend to skip over the
information & they are surprised when they realize the interviewee is
blind.
Seeking the learned members views on the above queries.
Regards
Mr. Sameer Latey,
Mumbai, India
