录音二
Good afternoon.
下午好。
In today's lecture, we'll be talking about how and when to disclose a disability when applying for a job.
在今天的讲座中，我们将讨论在申请工作时如何以及何时披露自己残疾的信息。
On average about 20 percent of the population has some form of disability.
平均而言，约有20%的人口患有某种形式的残疾。
Most countries, these days, have equal opportunity and non-discrimination laws.
如今，大多数国家都发布了机会平等和非歧视的法律。
Yet disabled people often find it hard to decide when, how and if at all to raise their disability problem with the potential employer.
然而，残疾人往往很难决定何时、如何以及是否要向潜在的雇主说明他们的残疾。
There is uncertainty about how a recruiter will perceive their disability.
招聘人员如何看待他们的残疾是不确定的事情。
As such, many candidates fear they wouldn't be considered for a position as a result of disclosing this personal information.
因此，许多候选人担心，由于披露了这些个人信息，招聘人员不会再考虑让他们担任应聘的职位。
And research has validated this as a genuine concern for many job applicants.
研究证实，这是许多求职者真正担心的问题。
It's a natural reaction, but it shouldn't be a reason to stay quiet.
这是一种自然反应，但不应该成为保持沉默的理由。
People need to remember that they are applying for a position they have the skills and experience to excel in.
人们需要记住，他们申请的是与他们的技能和经验相匹配的职位。
Discussing a disability with the potential employer may help them make reasonable workplace adjustments in their favor.
与潜在雇主讨论残疾的问题或许有利于他们对工作场所做出合理且对自己有利的调整。
It's most appropriate to discuss a disability when they reply to confirm an interview.
给出回复进行面试确认的时候来讨论残疾问题是最合适的。
This information needn't be put upfront in their cover letter or resume, because it's probably not relevant to the position itself.
这些信息不需要放在求职信或简历里，因为它可能与职位本身无关。
Candidates with disabilities should feel they have the power to make their own decisions around sharing this information free from prejudice.
残疾的应聘者应该认为他们有权在不受偏见的情况下做出自己的决定，分享这些信息。
If they find an organization that doesn't celebrate diversity and inclusion, it could say a lot about the company's culture.
如果他们应聘的公司不提倡多样性和包容性，这可能说明公司文化存在许多问题。
Perhaps the organization isn't the right fit.
也许这个公司不合适他们。
It's important for them to remember that they are seeking a manager, an employer that's going to be supportive and continue to give them a great employment experience.
对他们来说，重要的是要记住，他们正在寻找的是一位经理，一位会给予他们支持，并持续给他们带来良好就业体验的雇主。
Companies sometimes offer candidates the chance to disclose disabilities on their application form, but people shouldn't feel restricted by this method or timing.
公司有时会给应聘者提供在申请表上披露残疾信息的机会，但人们不应受到这种方法或时间的限制。
People should avoid sharing the name of their disability or condition.
人们应该避免分享他们所患残疾的名称或状态。
There is always the risk that the recruiter will research information that is inaccurate or irrelevant.
招聘人员总是有可能得到关于这种残疾不准确或不相关的信息。
If people don't think their disability will impact their ability to perform in the advertised position, then it's entirely their entitlement to choose when and whether to share this information.
如果人们认为他们的残疾不会影响他们在应聘职位上的表现，那么他们完全有权选择何时以及是否分享这些信息。
