If your work schedule varies from the “usual” 9-to-5—whether that means rotating, evening, or night shifts—your job may be taking a physical toll. And if you’ve recently switched from full-time daytime work to shift work, your body may have trouble adjusting to a new rhythm, or perhaps you’re finding it difficult to fit in non-work duties around your new schedule. Shift work comes with unique stressors. If you’re looking for ways to manage, explore five steps to better care for yourself, your body, and your mind when working odd hours.

💡 For job seekers with disabilities, the job search may include questions and challenges that others may not regularly come up against. In addition to wondering whether the roles you’re applying for are a fit, you may also be concerned about how to discuss your disability with potential employers during a job interview. ❓ Should you bring up your disability in an interview or wait until you’ve received a job offer? ❓ How do you showcase your disability as a strength? ❓ When is the best time to discuss the workplace accommodations you may require? To help you navigate the interview process confidently and comfortably, Idealist partnered with Mindy Henderson, Vice President of Disability Outreach and Empowerment, and Editor-In-Chief of the Muscular Dystrophy Association's Quest Media team, to share what you need to know before, during, and after an interview. #ADA #ChronicIllness #DisabilityInclusion
