I believe this is all part of the 'Guaranteed Job Interview' scheme, which REALLY pisses me off, as it means that all disabled people are guaranteed to be selected for the interview process, whereas people like me don't due to a lack of experience in the relevant areas.
Yeah they asked several "taboo" questions which I thought was pretty bizarre. I agree about the Guaranteed Job Interview scheme being ridiculous. Why should someone get a head start over me because they are disabled? How the hell is that promoting equality?
