Option B, the 'Hey, are your employees slacking off?' approach. Classy. I'm sure that'll go over well in the interview. Maybe throw in a 'You need a worker who can breathe and blink at the same time' for good measure.

Option D, huh? Might as well go with 'Hey, you got any jobs that no one else wants to do? I've got the perfect guy for you!' Gotta love that direct approach!

Option D? Really? That's like asking the employer, 'Hey, are you struggling to get work done? I've got the perfect guy for you!' Definitely not the way to go. I'd stick with option C, it's the most professional-sounding.

Hmm, I'm not too sure about option A. Highlighting the disability upfront might not be the best approach, even though it's important to be transparent. Let's go with option C, it sounds more subtle.

Let's approach the potential employer with option C and emphasize the individual's experience in an office setting.

Option A might come off as too focused on the disability rather than the person's qualifications.

I agree. It's important to highlight the person's abilities first before mentioning any disabilities.

That's a good point. Option C does seem more subtle and focuses on the individual's skills rather than the disability.

Option B is a great way to highlight the specific skills the candidate has and how they can directly benefit the employer. It's a win-win situation!

Option D seems a bit too direct and might come across as too aggressive in negotiating. I would probably go with option C as it presents the candidate's background in a more polite and professional manner.
