Hello
My main problem with dyslexia are STAR questions which every single company uses in interviews. I have crib sheets with many examples broken down into the letters Situation, Task, Action and Result. But my dyslexic mind messes these about. Though I can answer questions well in my previous jobs on the spot or bear with me I need to look this up for you.
STAR questions are my biggest let down for me in interviews. I say if I didn't have dyslexia, I would have got a job by now.
I have just filled in an application form and on question about adjustments need to be made. I said, I get muddled with STAR questions. Sometimes I give a perfect answer to something but its for the wrong question.
Seriously getting worried that my dyslexia is stopping me getting a job and if the company reads that I struggle with STAR questions thinks I will struggle with the role I am applying for. Companies and agencies need to understand dyslexia better.
I want help but most places that help are out of my age range, I'm 44 or cost money which I can't afford.
