Hey guys, particularly anyone employed. I’m writing a CV to hand and discuss during an interview, and I’ve added a section for “reasonable adjustments” - what sorts of things can I list here as potential adjustments to discuss during the interview, or shall I not do it at all and wait further down the process of employment if I get there?
So far I’ve gotten past the assessment stage and this is now the formal, final interview (wednesday)
This is exciting time 4 you
I am hoping to get a job interview this month.
Let’s see who gets a job first 
I don’t think I would add reasonable adjustments on my cv.
But your situation is obviously different.
It might be a good idea as then it sieves out employers who would not be suitable
And reduces pressure
Because you’ve already laid out your cards on the table.
Yeah, I’m pretty sure I wrote schizophrenia on the original application form and the manager still invited me for assessments, I’ve forgotten but I’m certain if I had to guess lol.
But yeah, it’s good to make it known quickly so I weed out any negative employers
Congratulations that’s you’ve made it this far so far.! 
Thank you, good luck with your applications
I appreciate that.
So far only applied to 1 place
I think they respond around 20.9 so yeh
But if I see other suitable jobs I will apply there too.
Take care 
I don’t disclose my illness to recruiters. However I only apply to remote jobs.
What adjustments would you need?
The only one I can think of is work from home, this is a hybrid role so it’s pretty much guaranteed that I’ll be offered some sort of work from home package, at least one or two days.
Edit: I applied directly to the local government instead of an agency so they’re fully aware (if I remember right)
It depends on the job specifics.
Can you do night shifts?
Flexible hours?
Bring a service pet to the office?
Can’t drive, so rely on public transport => longer commute or need train pass reimbursement?
I can’t think of much really.
In my case it’s social discomfort, I don’t fare well in open-space rooms / cubicles. I need my own room.
Workspace environments, that’s a good one
is informing your employer that you are schizophrenic affects your chances negatively for employment? i prefer not to tell anyone about my mental illness.at my work no one knows that i am schizophrenic but i have doubts that they think i am not normal.don’t know its a delusion or a real thing.
Hey, how did your interview go?
Public sector is much more accepting of things
Wish you luck!
Don’t really know, all I know it that it felt difficult
It does affect it negatively
