Twice a week we publish problems that will feature in a forthcoming Dear Jeremy advice column in the Saturday Guardian so that readers can offer their own advice and suggestions. We then print the best of your comments alongside Jeremy’s own insights. Here is the latest dilemma – what are your thoughts?
I was made redundant nearly three months ago from a job I loved. I’m on the autism spectrum, and I am now looking for what will be the second job I’ve had since my diagnosis.
I’ve been successful insofar as I’m able to get interviews – but I can’t get past the interview stage. I don’t know whether this is because I am disclosing my disability or not.
I obviously have the skills, since I have been shortlisted and invited to interviews – which seem to go well, but then I don’t get the job. So now after more than 18 interviews in two and a half months I really don’t know whether I should tell my interviewers I have a disability or not.
Do you need advice on a work issue? For Jeremy’s and readers’ help, send a brief email to dear.jeremy@theguardian.com. Please note that he is unable to answer questions of a legal nature or to reply personally.
