Autism Interview Guide

Media Type: Document
Resource Duration: 30 minutes

Who it’s for: Neurodivergent jobseekers (including autistic and ADHD candidates) and practitioners supporting them (careers advisers, job coaches, disability services).
What it does: Provides a structured, research-informed method to prepare and deliver clear, evidence-based interview answers without relying on social performance.

How it works:
– Teaches a 5-minute process to decode any job description into manageable themes/competencies.
– Uses the C.A.R. framework (Context, Action, Result), a working-memory-friendly alternative to STAR.
– Includes guidance on disclosure decisions with legal context and practical phrasing.
– Offers a bank of common competency questions with structured sample answers and practice prompts.
– Format: PDF; free (pay-what-you-want) under a Creative Commons licence for easy sharing.

When to use it:
– Early prep (to extract competencies from the job spec).
– During practice/mock interviews (to structure answers and rehearse).
– Immediately pre-interview (quick review checklists).
– When considering disability disclosure or reasonable adjustments.
