You shouldn’t ask for advice on the internet...

...but really - what do you recommend I do?

To make a long story short - I’ve been out of a job since January 2013 due to me losing my job due to restructuring at the company (they moved out of the country) and crippling anxiety making it impossible to apply for new jobs at that time.

During the time since I’ve been studying part-time to add another BSc to my BSc in Molecular Biology and going through some extensive rehab to get back to something resembling a regular life.

Now for the question and I was hoping to get some advice from here. Because as everyone knows getting advice on the internet is obviously the best way to go about things.

I’m starting the process of applying for jobs and getting my name out there. I’m preferably looking for part time jobs to begin with (50% would be best) but that all depends on various factors.

What I wanted to ask you guys about is this…

Just how honest and up front do you think I should be about my medical condition when going to the job-interviews? Should I just be honest and by doing that possibly limit my options but at the same time opening up the possibility of getting a job with a good employer who looks at ones strengths rather than weaknesses. Or should I just shut up, tell no one and just see how things go?

So - anyone got any good (and preferably serious) input on this?
