220: Neurodivergence in the Job Search: Practical Tips and Accommodations - Part 2
Description
Job searching can feel 10x harder when the process isn’t built for how your brain works.
In Part 2 of our neurodivergence series, Sarah and Emma dive into the real challenges listeners are facing, from overwhelming applications and missed deadlines to blanking in interviews, needing more time, and struggling with unclear expectations.
This episode is packed with practical tips and realistic ways to navigate the process, along with where accommodations can make a genuine difference.
Plus, some great advice from fellow neurodivergent Interview Boss listeners!
In Part 3 of this series, we'll tackle the big question: should you disclose?

"Hey Emma & Sarah! After listening to so many fantastic stories from your listeners, I finally get to share my own! In January I moved to Sydney (on my own) from Auckland. I’d just spent 7 years working for the same company, and had been shoulder tapped for most roles during that time, so my CV and interview prep were certainly in need of some help. Not only was I in a new city, I quit my job and set myself an ambitious goal to get out of Supply Chain sales and dive head first into the Tech industry. I applied for about 30-40 roles and was interviewed for around 10. Thanks to your support, it only took me 4 weeks to land on the company of my dreams! And the CEO told me yesterday that I gave one of the best functional interviews they’d ever seen. Across the 4 stage interview process I was well-prepared with my best bits. I even followed up afterwards when I thought of a better answer! I’m now 4 weeks in and I’m so grateful to be here. Thanks again, for everything you do. Liv x”
