I applied via the NerdWallet site and then had the first interview. I'm autistic and sometimes my speech can be a bit rough and I was anxious before this one. It's hard to know when to tell companies about this. Their online form doesn't have a spot for it. Should I just start the interview and bring it up then? I know some of my answers were not great. But my work history and portfolio show I'm really good at what I do. Still, the first impression is often based on a 30-minute chat and some standard tests for neurotypical people. They said they'd let me know in 2 days, but I got a generic rejection email 3 weeks later saying I could reapply. Not likely.

Behavioral Other
I sent in my resume and had a 30-minute call with a recruiter. A day or two later, they asked me to create a detailed strategy deck about their business. I offered to share examples of my past work or hypothetical outlines, but I'm not comfortable doing free consulting work. I decided to withdraw from the process because the homework assignment felt too early, especially since I hadn't even spoken with anyone on the actual team yet. I believe interviewing should be a mutual process, and the timing of such requests is key to attracting talent rather than discouraging people.

Behavioral Technical
The interviewer was super nice and asked me about my writing background. They also wanted to know about how I handle conflicts and if I can work on my own. A big part of it was about writing long pieces and how I research and explain tough topics in different kinds of articles.
