Job Interview for HOH

I can't count the number of times that people read my resume or were impressed by my projects and contacted me. But when they found that I do not hear well over the phone and use a relay service - they shut off communication. Could you believe it?

- In Hebrew there is a song ... "Hacole Biglal Masmer Katan" Everything is because of a small nail. My nail is a telephone interview.

The first stage of screenin new employees is a phone interview.
When it comes to me - it means a dead end. No possibility to pass at all.

I use the phone with friends and family members. But those people are aware of the needs to talk clearly and of the possibility that I will ask "could you please repeat?" as a part of the conversation. However in a phone interview I have no chance.

Usually I ask to use chat, e-mail or to come to a meeting. Such a request will kill th eprocess.

Out of 100 only one time I succeeded and I wish to thank you for D. from Plato learning who requested that I will be interviewed by e-mail.

New Possibilities Encouraging companies to use chat or e-mail for a job interview.
Introducing guidelines /law require employers to interview with Phone, Chat, or e-mail.
