“You can sit in the lobby until the interview process is over with. I am not attempting to hire you, and the interview process is a confidential business practice. Should this not be acceptable, the application is denied.”
Yeah, we’ve had them as well, and tell them to sit and wait. We’ve had objections, and simply handed back the application and tell them that their services are not wanted. Had some grumbles about a lawsuit, but never had one filed. I doubt it’d stand up in court.
They helped him with his resume. They practice interviewing. They help him look for jobs and help complete on-line applications. They offered to go with him on a job interview. I thought, who would hire somebody that needs a job coach to go on an interview? They told me that some companies would balk at this, but many would allow it.
In my opinion, if you are going to hire the handicapped, what do you care if some accommodations have to be made to help out? Sometimes these organizations will even pay to have a ramp put in, or a special phone system, or something like that. Sometimes these people just need a support system. I have hired illiterate people in the past when the job did not require them to read.
In the past I might have been bothered by this, but now that I know how it works, I would allow the job coach. I would at least give the person the chance to interview.
