Tip of the week: Choose a single, wheelchair accessible location for the interview


REASON: Imagine going to a company for a job interview. You are probably nervous, maybe running through answers to potential questions in your head. However, as soon as you arrive you are asked to retrieve something you can’t reach. So, for your first impression, you are forced to ask for help. In addition, everything seems to be out of reach… this place is just not designed for you. For people with physical disabilities, that scenario is not far from the truth. Choose a single location that is easily accessible, where the candidate doesn’t need to ask for help or alternative locations and send the interviewers to them. This will eliminate the need for candidates to request ‘special accommodations’ and your company gives the clear inclusive message.
