2 days agoA moment that changed me: I froze in a job interview and it made me stop hiding my disability
To my horror, I couldn't make out a single word on the display. The customer, a woman with her young daughter, stood impatiently as I froze. I didn't know what to say. After a few awkward minutes, the hiring manager dismissed me and I received a rejection email the next morning. My dreams of attending Wireless and Reading festivals with my friends disintegrated and I had another, more important, revelation: for the first time in my life, I realised that I was disabled.
