[quote=Anonymous]I’ve worn custom orthodics since the day I walked for the first time, and it’s embarrassing to have to explain that to people I might not know very well. I had a nanny job where I had a pair of indoor orthopedic shoes I kept at their house, but it can be awkward to bring up at the first interview and I usually don’t mention it until I get the job, because I worry how it will come across/effect interviewers’ perception of me. A lot of times I will just take my shoes off and deal with the swelling in my knees and pain for the next few days because I don’t want to make a big fuss or make my hosts uncomfortable by explaining why taking my shoes off is a hardship. I also have a tendency to slip more on hardwood floors in my socks, and at one family’s house that had steep hardwood slippery stairs I fell down an entire flight of stairs while babysitting for the first time—-there was no runner rug on the stairs. I found out later that that family’s mother had called on those same stairs and broken her collarbone, and they knew it was an issue.[/quote]
