What a stupid question. How many job interviews have you attended where you have been asked to detail your health issues and treatment plans?
At no stage did the thread of questions switch from - “Tell me a time when you’ve worked as part of a team” to “Explain in detail please your clinical diagnosis of the following conditions and how these were presented by in court”. That doesn’t happen.
The quote you’ve quoted was a post I made in October 2019. I was still working for my previous employer at that time. I was convicted in January 2020 after I pled guilty and was suspended pending an internal gross misconduct hearing and I subsequently resigned. As I’ve explained above, which either has gone over your head or you just don’t understand, I was seen by an independent Consultant Psychiatrist as part of the pre sentencing report. Based of his findings I was diagnosed with further conditions and I’ve been sign posted into the correct and necessary treatment plans. I’ve since fully engaged with treatment and am doing well.
Should I need to declare health information on an HR form for example I will but this does not mean they ask me about my confidential medical history during a job interview.
Yet again to reiterate for you at no stage did I fake (that’s what you are clearly implying) my ill health. Nor did it form any part of my legal defence. No “defence” was mounted as I admitted the offences at the earliest opportunity and pled guilty at court at the first opportunity. At no stage have I played “hero veteran” and expected my service or health condition to rid me of culpability. I broke the law, admitted to it, served my sentence (community service) and have left my previous job.
I have been successful at interview for a number of applied positions. Meaning I’ve passed the application phase, been invited for interviews, been informed I’ve passed the interview and then a DBS check is required and has shown my unspent convictions and it’s been the end of the road. Again at no stage is my medical history factored into this. This thread genuinely does have some great advice and comments and it has definitely helped me. Stacker is either stupid, attention seeking or on a deliberate wind. I’ll stop feeding the troll.
Thanks again for all those who have provided decent advice.
I have the stacker fellow on ignore
he will wade into all sorts of conversations giving it large, and his brain is bigger and more powerful than Bertram Russell and Einstens combined ,his brain is going to be donated to medical science , I only wish that it would, removendo partes corporis mortem
he is the sort of fellow one meets in offices and building sites all over the place, wades into every conversation and knows it all
and has to have the last word, and tries to sway the usually male audience over to his way of thinking, the same little gang that always laugh at his jokes and not so pithy comments
hopefully when the pubs open again, he can have his usual place at the bar alongside his peer group
ignore him and take the advice of those that see the more positive side
I spent over 40 years in the construction trade, and have worked alongside all sorts of people, including a convicted bomber
( albeit not a very good one)
a fella that did time due to his gambling and drinking problems, and turned his life and many others around ( I never even knew about his past until much later)
and a fair few other choice nutters and fruitcakes
Do something different, and be positive, little steps and keep moving forward
you will soon find the people that you were involved with fade into obscurity
