Job/Internship Applications - Do you say you have a disability?

@glitzabetes Hers’s my thought process on this as it pertains to my employment in my industry. T1 is a personal health condition that I choose not to share with my employer because it has no impact on my job and/or performance. I do not ask for ANY special job accommodations because I’m a Diabetic, therefore there’s no reason for me notify my employer. I work for a very large Telecom company and it took me a while to share that I’m T1 with a few very close colleagues. I’ve always been fiercely independent!

That being said, some folks in certain jobs and/or industries may feel the need to self report…that’s a personal choice each D can make.

I wish you all the best landing the internship you want (you worked hard for it)!
