Employers are not (legally) allowed to discriminate based on disability, provided that disability does not preclude doing a job in the first place. If you were applying for a job doing heavy lifting construction, then the fact that you have bad knees would be a valid reason for not hiring you, or firing you. Assuming that you are applying for jobs you actually feel you are capable of performing, there is no logical reason to include that information in an interview. Even if it does affect your job performance, provided you are still able to perform within acceptable parameters it is really none of their business. If you feel compelled to honesty, don't lie, but there is nothing in a job interview that requires you to paint a negative picture of yourself by disclosing your every shortcoming. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
