Umm, they don't have a mark-off box labeled "deaf" either from what I recall. It's entirely up to the person filling out the application whether or not they choose to bring it to the attention of the manager or person doing the hiring. For me, I just handed in the application and left the store. They called me back on the same evening. I went in for an interview and left the store with a JOB. During the interview, I made it clear that even though I had a hearing loss, it did not impair me to the point where I could not do a good job. I did state that there would be some things I could not do - i.e., telephone calls/answering, PA system, customer service, etc. They didn't care and they hired me anyway - and put me in a position that best suited me - I was content and worked there for two years.
Do yourself a favor - save the deaf rights advocating for the interview. You'd probably stand a better chance that way. An application is NOT an interview...they have to approve the APPLICATION before they are going to determine who is the best candidate for any job - this applies to both hearing and deaf people.[/quote]
Why did you leave HD? and How did they treat you while you worked there? Did they make "Reasonable Accomadations" for you?
