I'm an alcoholic and bipolar crazy maniac. And so then I asked about: well, what are the next steps? And the next steps are to be called in for a second interview with board members.
Imagine going into a job interview where you're asked to lay bare your strengths, weaknesses, and daily routines. Now, add the complexity of discussing your struggles with alcoholism and bipolar disorder. That's exactly what Elizabeth Smith did in her recent interview with Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA). In this candid episode of 'Alcoholism, Bipolar Disorder and the Courage to Change', Elizabeth opens up about the emotional rollercoaster she experienced during the interview process.
She wasn't just facing typical interview nerves; she was grappling with the fear of how her honesty about her mental health and addiction would be received. Yet, she chose to be transparent, believing that authenticity is key to both personal growth and professional success. As she awaits a call for a second interview, Elizabeth reflects on the broader challenges of managing mental health in the workplace.
Her story is a powerful reminder that vulnerability can be a strength, not a weakness. This episode is a must-listen for anyone navigating similar challenges or supporting someone who is. Elizabeth's journey offers a blend of hope, courage, and practical advice on balancing honesty with professional aspirations.
