Good afternoon. In today’s lecture, we’ll be talking about how and when to disclose a disability when applying for a job.
    On average, about 20% of the population has some form of disability. Most countries these days have Equal Opportunity and Non-Discrimination Laws. Yet disabled people often find it hard to decide when, how and if at all to raise their disability problem with a potential employer. There is uncertainty about how a recruiter will perceive their disability. As such, many candidates fear they wouldn’t be considered for a position as a result of disclosing this personal information. And research has validated this as a genuine concern for many job applicants.
    It’s a natural reaction, but it shouldn’t be a reason to stay quiet. People need to remember that they are applying for a position they have the skills and experience to excel in. Discussing a disability with a potential employer may help them make reasonable workplace adjustments in their favor. It’s most appropriate to discuss a disability when they reply to confirm an interview. This information needn’t be put upfront in their cover letter or resume because it’s probably not relevant to the position itself.
    Candidates with disabilities should feel they have the power to make their own decisions around sharing this information free from prejudice. If they find an organization that doesn’t celebrate diversity and inclusion, it could say a lot about the company’s culture. Perhaps the organization isn’t the right fit. It’s important for them to remember that they are seeking a manager and employer that’s going to be supportive and continue to give them a great employment experience.
    Companies sometimes offer candidates the chance to disclose disabilities on their application form, but people shouldn’t feel restricted by this method or timing. People should avoid sharing the name of their disability or condition. There is always the risk that the recruiter will research information that is inaccurate or irrelevant. If people don’t think their disability will impact their ability to perform in the advertised position, then it’s entirely their entitlement to choose when and whether to share this information.
    19. Why do disabled job applicants feel reluctant to disclose their disability information?
    20. When does the speaker suggest applicants reveal their disability information?
    21. What are people advised to do when filling out their job application form?

选项 A、Describe the true state of their health.
B、Provide all the information required.
C、Stress the irrelevance of their disability to the job.
D、Avoid mentioning the name of their disability.

答案 D

解析 讲话者在讲话最后提到,公司有时会给求职者提供在申请表上披露残疾情况的机会,但是建议人们不要被这种方法或时机限制,应该避免分享自己的残疾名称或状况,选项D与原文表述相符,为正确答案。其他三项都不是讲话中提到的关于填写职位申请表的建议,故排除。
