Personal Question about Interviewing

[Grey17]

Members don't see this ad.

I am just looking for some opinions on my situation!

I have Tourettes Syndrome and have some pretty obviously facial motor ticks, mainly blinking and other small facial ticks. It is pretty obvious that there is something going on when I begin to talk to people, and it gives off the perception that I am nervous.

Do you think it would be appropriate to say something before the interview starts about it? It is something the interviewers will easily pickup on and I feel it would be safer to be proactive and say something rather than keep them wondering.

I had an experience last cycle with an interviewer who I talked to afterwards who asked me about it. I felt stupid because I should have disclosed this info before the interview even started.

Thanks!

Some schools will ask u when u set up interview if you have any medical conditions I think.
It wouldn't hurt the to tell them IMO

Yeah I would let them know. I think once they know, it won't be a big deal to them at all.

I would tell them. You definitely do not need to go around saying it to everyone, just those conducting the formal interview.
