Job requirements are just a wish list of the ideal candidate, so no one is lying by applying even if they don’t meet all requirements. I don’t see how this is knowledge unique to “neurotypical” people.
I just wish this trend of appropriating every little odd behavior to being neurodivergent/ADHD/autist would end already. are people really that desperate to come off as special?
Someone could argue this nonsense makes the struggles of actual diagnosed people with these conditions seem irrelevant
In every instance where I’ve been reading cvs for a job, the requirements have always been requirements. If we had nice to have features, they were listed as nice to have.
I work at a university. When hiring, if someone doesn’t have one of the “Required Job Qualifications”, they are immediately disqualified. We can wiggle a little if we can infer one of the qualifications from other experience, but that is pretty frowned upon.
If we have things that we’d like to have but are not required, they are listed as “Preferred Job Qualifications”. We then create a rating scale for each based on their relative importance and grade candidates one each of the preferred qualifications. We use the resulting rankings to determine who we will interview. We MUST interview every candidate above the lowest ranked candidate we interview.
