So I have a job interview in about 12 hours and I have been aggressively preparing as I have ADHD and autism and have a tendency to overshare. However, I am really struggling to find the appropriate way to answer any questions regarding my previous employment. If I’m not truthful, I’m afraid that I will be seen as disingenuous, or that I’ll slip up and share that info at a later date and cause an issue for myself. On the flip side, if I’m truthful, I worry that there is no good way for me to explain what exactly happened without it sounding like it’s in bad faith.
For context, I was fired from my last job because they took away a very minor (literally only a couple of minutes) scheduling accommodation when we had a manager change, resulting in me violating company policy by being tardy constantly. When I’d had the accommodation, this problem was resolved. I’m sure I had a case, but I was too burnt out at that point in my life to care about pursuing it.
Does anybody have any advice for me? I can’t find anything online about what to do in this situation. Everything online talks about how you should admit your own faults and not blame the employer, but in my case, I’d had reasonable accommodations and was fired when they were taken away. I really don’t know what to say.
