Job Interview

Published

I have a job interview on Thursday and I am a complete mess over it. I am so anxious about disclosing my monitoring. Any advice on what to say? This is a panel interview and so that makes it more nerve wracking to me. I am very proud of my recovery and I am doing so well. I am so excited to get back to working.

I remember those days during monitoring and experiencing unusual anxiety during interviews. I suggest you be well prepared, well rested, arrive early and bring up the topic of your past/recovery before they do. You will know the right time, when you are getting positive vibes from them and you sense that they like you. I know it is hard but there are some people who will not hold your past against you , appreciate your honesty and would love to give you a second chance. Good luck with your interview!

I know what you are going through and I understand the anxiety you feel. I had an interview with a recruiter which was going great but then I had to discuss certain  restrictions I came with regarding the monitoring program I am in here in CA. It was due to the fact that I could not work night shifts or overtime that was going to be the problem and she was glad I told her as acute dialysis in hospital was not going to be a good fit at this point due to these restrictions. She passed my name on to 2 other recruiters in a different part of dialysis care and its working out great. I wish you the best of luck in your interview and the advice from Tigerlily8 above is perfect!

Deep breath. You can do hard things. Be yourself and be honest. Most places are gonna appreciate your candidness and if they don't accept that- then it is their loss. HUGS!
