Career, Interview & Resume Tips for Neurodivergent Professionals

Neurodivergence covers a spectrum of differences in thinking from what is considered neurotypical. Historically, employers and coaches have failed to recognize and accommodate these differences.

In this episode of Career Confidante Radio, host Marie Zimenoff welcomes resume writer and coach Melissa Kelley. Listen in as Melissa shares her story of being diagnosed on the Autism spectrum and with ADHD later in life and how being neurodivergent impacted her career. She also shares tips for helping neurodiverse individuals with their job search, interviewing, and beyond. Tune in for insights that can help any career services provider be more effective at working with clients, especially those who are neurodiverse.
