New Plan for Nick
Weekly Hour Long Meetings with the Goal of…
- Memorizing the answers to interview questions as a reasonable accommodation.
- Focus on the mechanics of the interview instead of having all the right answers .
- Ask for the opportunity to perform work samples during the interview.
- Customize the business’ needs for the employee, not the other way around.

Change the Question
Why Wouldn’t You Hire This Individual?
- We placed potential employees in silos of wants and needs and cross referenced skill requirements to THEM
- We no longer hunted hourly managers who could not affect change in hiring practices, but rather C Suite and Director-level positions that made culture decisions
- Highlight the barriers in the way: admit to your own biases, acknowledge concerns and the perception of a risk, anticipate reasons to say “no” and answer them before they can be asked.
