Adjustments in interviews

Hello.  I'm new here and I'm really hoping that someone can help.

Has anyone got any experience about asking for adjustments to the recruitment process, especially interviews?

I'm trying to help someone get a job and he is worried about not being able to answer questions in an interview situation even though he would be able to do the job itself well.

I've thought about asking for the interview questions in advance, but don't want to jeopardise his chances by putting off a potential employer.  He worries that it will look like he's 'cheating'.

We've looked at work placements which would lead to a job, but haven't had any success in getting him one.

Does anyone have any thoughts or suggestions that might help us?

Many thanks.

Kate

  • Thank you asparagus.

    I can understand what you say about him possibly forgetting the answers.  It's just that the uncertainty about the questions is one of the big things causing him anxiety.

    I suppose I imagine him taking in some notes to prompt him to answer the questions.

    Everyone's answers are giving me a lot to think about - I really do appreciate it!
