I've scheduled an interview as a youth counselor working with at-risk youth in a nearby city. Everything about the job is within my scope of abilities except one thing she mentioned- driving the van to pick up kids. I failed to mention that this is something I can't really do because of my leg. Should I have mentioned it? Is it okay to just bring up at the interview. Will my inability to drive a van ruin my chances at getting this job? Am I protected in anyway because of my "disability"?
I have two concerns about driving a van, the first being that I am a RAK amputee so my personal car is equipped with a left-foot accelerator. I have driven regular cars without any adaptive equipment in the past, I don't like to because I'm so used to having the gas on the left, but I can. My second concern is just the fact that a van is much bigger than my Chevy Cavalier and I'm not a big fan of driving in the first place, especially in a city setting.
I like working with kids, and I feel like it would be cool to work with at-risk youth and help them develop life skills and have fun this summer (I'd be a recreational and vocational counselor), but I don't want to drive a van! This job also pays better than any of the other prospects I have for this summer.
