I know this is tricky but have you ever tried explaining the condition at an interview? Along the lines of 'it would be best if I had a seat in an enclosed space for at least part of the day'.
- mrweasel 10y agoUnless a person have skills that are in extreme demand, I'm certain that the result would be that you're either not given the job, or you promised that the company will work something out, but never actually act upon it. It's not that I believe that companies are evil in that sense. It's just more stuff to deal with, stuff that's not really important to anyone but that single employee.
- paddy_m 10y agoI have done this many times. I generally wait until after the offer has been made. At that point the company is convinced in my work output. They should want to maximize their investment. My hope is that asking for specific work accommodations to maximize performance comes across as conscientious and carrying about the value I deliver. I phrase it along the lines of "I have trouble concentrating, so if I have to work in an open office environment I would perform the best if I face a wall".
