[QUOTE="LegallyBrown, post: 151867, member: 29628"] I think you should definitely be telling graduate recruitment about this. I’m not sure if Jessica may be able to give you her opinion, but I worked in recruitment before and we had a candidate who suffered anxiety and was on medication at the time which affected her speed and fatigue. Although I know the two are different, and it can often be difficult to mitigate against, I remember we had to call her to ask what she required because we were not sure how to approach her particular situation. In fact, I think she was given breaks throughout the day whenever she needed. We had to make the assessors aware that if she needs to break at any point or leave the room then it should be allowed. It is a discussion you will need to have with the firms you’re applying for as reasonable adjustments are not a one size fits all regime. It will depend on what you need at all stages of the application process. Don’t hide it out of fear it will hold you back, because it’s not an equitable playing field otherwise. Good luck xx [/QUOTE]
