How would you interview a Deaf person. Note: you do not know the
language spoken or understood by the deaf. So how would you communicate? |

Any reason not to instruct them in writing to bring an interpreter
to the interview?

Hello nainilchheda-ga,
It seems to me that there are a bunch of variables to find out about
before you decide. Why are you interviewing this person? I think
interviews are normally conducted with someone that you have an
interest in and know something about. What do you know about your deaf
person even though "you do not know the language spoken or understood"
by them? Is the person deaf from birth or did they go deaf after livig
some stretch of their life hearing? You need to find out what
languages the person you're interviewing speaks -- this is true of
anyone you're interviewing. If you discover they're deaf, you need to
find out if they can communicate in sign language.
This seems to be a trick question. Please flesh out the situation
you're dealing with. Thanks.

The ADA (American Disabilities Act) gives persons with disabilities
many specific rights --during job searches, interviews, and actual
employment. This affects employers with more than 25 employees. Do you
have more than 25 employees?

1. For Sublime1-ga --> I just want to know how to interview a person
who is deaf. Yes bringing an interpreter could be an option too.
However I need more options to choose from.
2. For czh-ga --> Why am I interviewing the person --> The person has
applied to our company and the resume of the person says he is could
be a good candidate for the position. Yes the person can communicate
via sign languate. The resume says so.
3. For cynthia-ga --> Yes we have more than 25 employees.
4. For roxrox-ga --> Your comments are really appreciated and I shall
try following them. Thank you.
Hope this clarifies.
Thank you.

Hi nainilchheda,
Perhaps this information will be helpful for you. If my findings are
satisfactory, please let me know and I will post this information as
the official answer to your question.
RIT NTID National Technical Institute for the Deaf - Interviewing a Deaf Person

=========
Rights of Deaf And Hard of Hearing Under the ADA
http://www.zak.co.il/deaf-info/old/ada_rights.html
"The ADA says employers cannot discriminate in the job application
process, hiring, firing, salary/pay, promotion, or any other benefit
of being an employee. This means a qualified interpreter should be
available for a job interview. If a verbal test is part of the job
application process, the employer should provide an appropriate
written test for a deaf applicant."

Best regards,

Hi,
Your answer is pretty well. However I'd expect a few more web links
and / or explaination on the same.
If you could provide some more details on the same it would be great
and your answer could then be posted in the Official Answers section.
Thank you.
