• You are not obliged to tell about your disability or condition right away, unless it is clear from the outset that your health prevents you from performing certain tasks in the job, or that you need certain facilities to do so. It is possible to do so later in the procedure: for example, not in the letter, but during the first or second interview.
• If you want to hint anyway that you have a disability, you can do so in your resume. For example, by mentioning among your hobbies that you play wheelchair tennis, or that you are president of the association for asthma patients. By doing so, you create the opportunity for the other person to ask about it and take some pressure off yourself. If you find it irrelevant or uncomfortable to state on your resume that you engage in such activities, then of course you do not.

• Highlight in your cv what side activities you do or have done besides your studies. For example: volunteer work, courses, hobbies, involvement in an association or special talents you have.
• Take an active attitude if you want to talk about your work limitation during the job interview. Make sure your focus is not labor disability but your competencies. Do not answer questions about your health or medical history. What you can explain is how often you are sick/not present, you can handle the work and if it will cost money if they hire you.
• You probably also have an account on Facebook or Instagram, for example. These networks are not primarily for business use. Potential employers do know how to find you on those! So be careful what you share on your social media channels. Pay attention to your privacy settings and do not use profile pictures that are too 'challenging' and so on. The same, of course, applies to other non-business networks.
• General job application tips can be found on various websites. Monsterboard.nl, for example, has an extensive list of frequently asked questions. Some universities and colleges offer job interview training; you can also go to the CWI or training agencies for this.
• A method that many employers use in their interviews is the STAR method. This method assumes that certain behavior from the past also applies to the future. So you can be questioned in this way, without literally naming this method: situation: This is an outline from the past, such as a work situation. Task: What was your role in this/how did it look? Approach: Your course of action/what did you do? Outcome: The outcome, can be either positive or negative.
• Blog resume star: Applying for a job with a disability, how do you do it?

• Be briefly and to the point
• Don't make it a "cliffhanger" (i.e.: don't wait for the moment to present itself).
• Be concrete
• Be assertive
• Refer to relevant laws and regulations
• Come up with solutions, emphasize your possibilities
• Indicate what adjustments and/or facilities you think you need. Explain these and where you can get them
• Practice talking about your disability with others (for example, your parents or friends).

• As an employee, you will be given a contract. This contains agreements about the duration of the contract, any payment and other agreements about your working conditions. If you have agreed on adapted working hours and, for example, facilities because of your work limitation, have this included in the contract. Put on paper which aspects you will be assessed on.
• That way it is clear to all parties what you can expect from each other. In your assessment, such agreements can be of considarable importance.

A checklist:

• Work (including adjustments as agreed/needed)
• Authority (to whom are you accountable?)
• Salary
• Contract duration (possibly supplemented with agreements on extension )
• Notice period
• Working hours (including the possibility of flexible arrangement of the working week)
• Collective bargaining agreement (in Dutch: CAO)
• Confidentiality
• Dissolving conditions
• Payment

Your educational institution can also help you if you have questions about applying for a job. For example, with an application training. Check the possibilities.
