A Wheelie Good Chat
22. First Impressions Go Both Ways
Imagine going into a job interview only to be ignored and talked down to because of your disability. That's precisely what Sam experienced, and in this episode of A Wheel Good Chat, Sam shares the frustration and isolation that came with it. Joel and Sam dive deep into the subtle and overt ways that people with disabilities are marginalised in professional settings. Sam recounts an interview where the interviewer made inappropriate assumptions about her abilities.
Join Sam and Joel, as they break down these disheartening moments and explore how they impact not only job prospects but also self-worth. Joel and Sam don't hold back as they address the absurdity of these interactions, and the broader societal issue of underestimating individuals with disabilities. With candid stories and a few laughs to lighten the mood, this conversation isn't just about raising awareness—it's about pushing for the respect and equality everyone deserves. Don't miss this eye-opening discussion that's as thought-provoking as it is necessary.
