I received an award from a prominent disability organization and am applying to full-time consulting opportunities. Should I list it on my resume and cover letter, especially for firms who have disability ERGs? I'm torn and would love to hear your perspective.

Why not? Even at firms where disability support is merely performative, this type of award is a plus on your résumé. Also, congratulations!

Thank you! 😊 I'm concerned that this award will out me as having a disability and raise red flags in the minds of recruiters and non-disabled colleagues.

If I choose to name the award when applying to certain firms at least, in my cover letter, I plan to write about how I'd love to join them because of their strong disability advocacy and how I'd like to help grow their disability ERG and recruiting efforts.

Is there a way to disclose the award partially? Many people volunteer at organizations, are allies. Etc. maybe you can do both and decide on an individual basis whether to disclose or not to specific potential employers.

I wouldn’t. Lower level staff that do the hiring may be more exclusionary

Should I hold out for the offer or is 1+ week a sign that I won’t be selected?
