Don't Ask, Do Tell -- But When?

[Sean Barrett]

To me the answer is often pretty straightforward.  Disclose when its
relevant.

Remember an interview is by definition the time an applicant  has to prove
what they can do- not what they can't.

No one ever got a job talking about what they can't do.
