Face to face job interviews are inherently loaded against autistic individuals. So they leave school, college or university and often hit a brick wall.
We made the world's first app to support autistic job seekers to navigate the dreaded job interview. Once they get jobs, they often become superstar, loyal employees.
Our app helps with all the following:
Disclosure - whether to disclose or not and how to disclose
Getting as much information as possible before the interview
The tricky icebreaker at the start
Accommodations / reasonable adjustments
Phone screening
Speaking
Explaining "spotty" CVs
Asking for clarification and context
Handling questions - slowing down the pace
Selling self
Handling panel interviews
Body language
Eye contact
Information overload
Sensory overload
Anxiety
Meltdown
But there's even more:
Pre-loaded email templates to help with confirming interview, requesting accommodations and seeking feedback.
Useful linear checklists and organisational tools to support planning and executive function.
Audio & video resources.
10,000 word section to guide interviewers themselves and explain what lies behind autistic anxieties and what accommodations can be put in place during interviews and at work. It is also useful for managers who employ autistic individuals.
The app was designed and developed employing the input of autistic individuals.
