Can you give us advice on how to handle a job interview if we are neurodivergent people?

It's very sad to have to say that the first piece of advice is not to share your neurodivergence. At least, don't do so until you're sure your condition isn't rejected, because neurodivergence still generates a lot of rejection.

If we discuss our neurodivergence, it is important to explain that this does not make us less productive, but rather that our strengths enrich and complement teams.

Apart from this, in general terms, it is important to prepare a few basic points before a job interview:

  • Preparation : Before applying, research the company and the position you are applying for. Be prepared to answer questions related to your skills and experience.
  • Authenticity : Be yourself. Companies value authenticity and diversity.
  • Communication : Practice how to communicate your ideas clearly and concisely.
  • Questions : Be prepared to ask the interviewer questions. This shows your interest in the position.

There are many more points, but these are a basic starting point.
