Hi DNetwork Friends!
An inclusive job interview isn’t just about accepting applicants from diverse backgrounds — it’s about ensuring every step of the hiring process is fair and accessible, especially for persons with disabilities. Here are 6 practical tips for HR teams to create a more inclusive and meaningful interview experience:

1️⃣ Understand the Disability and Access Needs
Before the interview, learn about the applicant’s type of disability so you can prepare the right support — such as a wheelchair-accessible space, a guide, or assistive communication tools. If you're unsure, don’t hesitate to ask the applicant directly about their access needs.

2️⃣ Focus on Skills, Not Physical Conditions
Assess the applicant based on their competencies, experience, and potential — not their disability. People with disabilities have the same abilities and potential as others if given an equal opportunity.

3️⃣ Use Accessible Communication Channels
Send interview invitations using platforms that are easy to access. Use clear, concise language to ensure understanding — especially for applicants with cognitive, sensory, or visual impairments.

4️⃣ Prepare an Accessible and Friendly Interview Location
Choose a venue that is free from physical barriers — such as step-free access, wheelchair paths, guiding blocks, or ground-floor rooms. Provide assistance or interpreters when needed, especially for Deaf or blind candidates.

5️⃣ Address Concerns Directly During the Interview
If you have any concerns about how the applicant would perform in the role, talk about it openly during the interview. Give them a chance to explain how they work and the support tools they typically use.

6️⃣ Conduct a Simple Skill Test If Needed
If you still have doubts, provide a short, relevant task or test to directly assess the applicant's abilities. Make sure the test is also accessible and supports assistive technologies if required.

By applying these steps, companies can build a fairer and more inclusive hiring process that respects diversity.

Hello DNetwork friends!

Job interviews are very important. They can decide if you get the job or not.

Your CV and cover letter are important. But how you talk in the interview is just as important. In the interview, the company wants to know:

  • Who are you?

  • Can you communicate well?

  • Are you ready to work?

For persons with disabilities, interviews may feel hard. But don’t worry! If you prepare and feel confident, you can do it!

Here are simple tips to help you do better in a job interview:

1. Join Job Interview Training

Training helps you get ready. There are many trainings for persons with disabilities, including from DNetwork. You can learn:

  • How to answer questions

  • How to be more confident

  • Practice interviews

2. Practice Common Questions

Some questions are very common. For example:

  • “Tell me about yourself.”

  • “What are your strengths and weaknesses?”

  • “Why do you want to work here?”

3. Wear Neat and Formal Clothes

First impressions matter. Wear clean, formal, and comfortable clothes. It shows you respect the interview.
