It is my understanding that you are only guaranteed an interview if you meet minimum criteria for the post - the guarantee does not mean that all people with a disability will be invited to interview irrispective of the quality of their application form and personal statement. Hope this helps!

[mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Kate Dresser Sent: 17 May 2007 12:46 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Disability and Guaranteed Job Interviews I'd be grateful if anyone could suggest how I advise a student whose query is: Is dyslexia considered to be sufficiently debilitating to secure in a guaranteed interview when applying for jobs? I have heard it suggested that only severe dyslexia would be grounds for bringing an action under the DDA.
