I have a 2nd interview but have a DRO....

Hello,

I am after any advice please.

I have applied for a job and have a 2nd interview with them later today. The job is much the same to what I do now and about the same wage.

My question is, do I inform them about the DRO and at what point? My current job is fine with the DRO and I have never been questioned (I am only a few weeks into my DRO though).

I just do not want to say the wrong thing at the wrong time. The agency did ask if I was bankrupt or anything like this but when I filled the form out I was awaiting to find out if the DRO had been approved so I did not say anything, plus my manager advised that if I put this on record with them it may well be hard to remove in the future.

How should I go about this if I was offered the job?

Thanks for any help, much appreciated!!

It may help those with more knowledge (ie not me) to know your field/ profession. Good luck with your 2nd interview.

what are you applying for?

Like Bankruptcy, while you have a DRO you can not perform certain roles or funtions (i.e a director of a company, being able to set up a limited company, etc) but unless your role is one of those restricted roles I wouldn't worry.

Personally, unless you know its a potential issue for your specific role or you are asked again (verbally) or asked to sign something that specifically requires you to disclose it (contract) then I wouldn't volunteer it. For 99% of jobs its probably irrelavant and they don't need to know as it does not impact them. Unnecessarily flagging up a DRO or BR may only serve to get a question/black mark against you by your manager or the HR department, because just like telling a friend .. some people will judge you for it negatively and colour their future opinion of you.

Thank you for all your comments.

Its a role that I do currently which is checking finance documents, I just hope to move company. The company I work for now has no problem with this.

Hopefully if im offered they won't ask me the question!

Thanks again for your help.
