couple, us we him her.

I guess this is the right category.

I have a job interview this week.

I have recently returned to work after 4 months off following a shoulder operation.

Now I have been passed fit to work but on lighter duties for 4weeks I have another week or so.

Am I obliged to tell them in the interview?

Personally I like to be honest about everything and hate lying.

But am worried if it will effect my chances or not if I tell them ?

Not meeting

Is is with a different employer? How much notice do you have to give on your current position? If 4 weeks or more I wouldn’t mention it unless the new position could un-do the work of the operation x

Yes different employer.

1weeks notice but by time that's served I will be out of the 4weeks light duties period.

But there is still the potential to re injure it again if I Go to heavy.

I guess honesty is the best way tbh.

That way the ball is in their court as I still have physio appointments to attend.

Brighton - even Hove!

Tell them. If they are ok with it all well and good, if not then they don’t value the health and well-being of their staff so a lucky escape. Remember with an interview- you’re checking them out just as much as they are you.

Absolutely no need to discuss. The interview is about your competency and capability to do the job you’re interviewing for. Even if it was an ongoing disability where reasonable adjustments were needed these don’t really need to be discussed until you’re offered the role. That doesn’t mean you don’t have to, it’s all dependent on how comfy you are discussing. And I would suggest if you’re a little awkward in doing so (and given your situation is in recovery) you’re more likely to come across as if it is a barrier to your competency, which it isn’t, so I’d suggest not doing so at interview where you’re using the opportunity to reassure and display all the reasons you are the best candidate in terms of your capabilities.

Way over Yonder, that's where I'm bound

Is the role likely to reignite the injury?

You don't have to tell them about this injury but if you know you can't do the job you probably won't keep it long if appointed and you fail to deliver.

You can declare when they offer you the job and negotiate how you move into heavier duties. They may choose to withdraw the offer but they may be happy to negotiate.

If it's not a long term condition that will affect your ability to do your job then you don't have to declare it. Essentially it's no different from having a cold....

Regarding your interview. I hate lies and liars and am very upfront and direct but if you want the job at the interview bend the truth to whatever degree is necessary to get the job.

Well I also have arthritis in same shoulder which is separate from the other issue and going forward is probably also going to require surgery as well but hopefully not just yet.

It's not effecting my ability to do the job it just hurts after usually in the evening.

Don't mention that, it's unlikely to come but if it does keep quiet.

Your probably get a medical questionnaire when you get the job, declare it then. Someone said earlier they may withdraw the job offer but that's highly unlikely imo. Most businesses are terrified of anything that may result in litigation.

Good luck

Honesty is the best answer, I have been off work for 6 months with depression after my last job, explained it at my interview and told them that my reference may not be brilliant and got the job x storm x

Don’t need to mention it.

If they offer you the job it will be conditional on a review by an occupational health department who have a duty of confidentiality to you anyway.

You should be honest with them, and they will advise (impartially) on your fitness to work.

Jools ATB please ignore anybody who advises you to be honest.

As long as you can do the job then you NEED to paint yourself in the best possible light at interview.

They can't get your medical records without your consent so don't say anything that could make your employer think your a risk either now or in the future
