Hello All,
Truth is my word and does disability needs any declaration, if yes than
it should be at first instance rather then later.
Thanks,
Pankaj Kwatra

Subject: Re: [AI] Should you reveal disability during the job search?
Hi George,
I think, it's a tough decision to make whether to reveal disability on
CV or
not and I think, one needs to make the judgement based on the company
and
the level of awareness that company has. Although, it's unfortunate, but
at
times, when a employer sees disability on CV and if he / she is not
sensitized towards disability, then chance are more for rejection and he
/
she may not even inform the reason for rejection.
Thanks,
-Srinivasu
