#ActuallyAutistic folks in the UK - have you ever used a "guaranteed interview/assessment" scheme for a job application, and ended up getting the job?
I'm weighing up "don't disclose anything until you have a job because it might put them off even if they HAVE to give you an interview" with "do everything you can to get to the interview stage then hopefully you can really impress them".
@filmfreak75@NightlyBye@actuallyautistic some employers have signed up to a scheme where people with disabilities who meet the job criteria are guaranteed an interview.
It is supposed to increase opportunities for disabled (and neurodivergent) people, and I suppose it might. I haven't seen any stats about its effect though, and there are reasons disabled people might not trust it.

I've always been in the 'no hostages' camp. Why tell them my issues in advance if they don't actually affect my ability to do their job.
