I told the law firm I was "handicapped" do you think I am more likely to get the job?

[Blackrook]

Somehow, I doubt it.

Probably not. The problem with the Americans with Disabilities Act is that it makes it harder for employers to sign on people with disabilities, not easier. Because once they are on the payroll, you can never fire them and they can demand just about anything they want.

If they question your disability, you should refer them to your postings here. Nobody could read the silly stuff you post and doubt that you are disabled.

 

[Blackrook]

Well, they didn't ask me what the handicap was, so I could have an IQ 65 and totally unable to perform my duties as a lawyer, and they would never know.

In some professions, it is an advantage to be silly.

That's pretty obsolete. I mean, when was the last time you saw an actual circus?

one would think that, coupled with low moral standards, would be a shoe-in for the profession.....~S~

I will attest to your handicaps

 

[Moonglow]

Somehow, I doubt it.

Did you limp and have a humped back?

You’d be a bigger asset to the firm’s golf team if you were a scratch golfer rather than one with a handicap.

 

[BlackFlag]

Somehow, I doubt it.

I doubt there’s much you could say that would get anybody to hire you

Instead of telling them, Show them your posting history and prove it

Yes...you could have an IQ of 65......we have some agreement there. But at least you are happier, right?

Somehow, I doubt it.

Did you limp and have a humped back?

"walk this way...."

Should being a deranged hate filled conservative christian actually be considered a "handicap"?

 

[Dekster]

Somehow, I doubt it.

Depends on whether your handicap keeps you from being able to chase ambulances.
