Ask HN: Should I tell that I had cancer to my interviewer?
I have a hearing loss. It takes a little while for people to notice, and I generally do very well in face-to-face, one-on-one interactions, so during interviews, I never bring it up. Back when I was dating, I struggled with whether to bring it up on the first date. On the one hand, it shouldn&#x27;t matter. But on the other, I would find it deceptive if someone I went on a date with held back information like that (e.g., &quot;I have a kid&quot; or &quot;I have cancer&quot;). It&#x27;s not necessarily a deal breaker, but I would totally understand if the other person walked away. Fortunately, I found someone, so I don&#x27;t have to deal with this any more on the dating front.<p>But for business? It&#x27;s none of their business. If I get the job, I&#x27;ll bring it up with my immediate team on Day 1, but otherwise, I don&#x27;t say anything. For cancer, it&#x27;s really just none of their business whatsoever.
