Applying for a job

Its a toughie. We asked a similar question when recruiting people, and it was more we could work with them if they were the successful candidate. If I had interviewed someone and they said everything was ok, they were hired and less than 2 weeks later needed time off because of said 'problem' I would be annoyed because info hadn't been disclosed, and be double checking our old houserules re disclosure - or falsifying of information relating to obtaining information - especially seeing notes were taken during interview processess.

If it was me I would mention it, but phrase things positively, stress that this is something that you are recovering from - and if you think that obtaining this position will aide you then write that as well

Good luck

Thanks guys. Yeah I know I have to say something, but yeah I guess I will have to figure out a way to make it sound ok.

No I no longer have those days, but I can still get overly anxious and emotional at times when things are going not as planned. my jon is a 'giving' job, but like I said my phycologist cleared me to trturn to this job months ago, but it has taken a lot longer for me to feel reagy. Im sure I can do it, which is a hige this for me, to have the confidence to feel like I can do something. I just need to use the right wording to explain that this is where I am now at in my recovery.
I will only be doing 2 days, and will only do it if I can get 2 set days.shifts per week.

When I have interviewed, a number of potential employees have disclosed depression. For me, it's definitely NOT a write off, but I do want to know if there are particular stressors, if there are strategies the person has in place etc. I work in health (I have a feeling you're a nurse?) and I would hope that most health employers would be pretty understanding about PND.

Yep Im a nurse. There was a jonin the paper on sat saying they have flexible working hrs and looking for part and full-time nurses. I spoke to the charge nurse and she said yep they could give me sun and mon am shifts each week which is awesome.

I will write something about having had pnd in the application forms- there is one q that asks something like 'have u had any medical condition/injury that may be agivated or contributed to by the tasks of the job? ' - will prob write something in reply to this question. There is another q thats asks 'do you have any problems that WILL affect your ability to perform the duties,....?'
I dont think it WILL affect my performance, but it could- so I think I will put it to answer the first q

I think they'll be quite supportive of you if you do need it. Larger organisations tend to have better systems and processes in place and are often very proactive when it comes to being family friendly, supportive of disabilities, embrassing cultural diversity etc.
