Hello, folks! This is ADHD in a HURRY! My name is Dustin Horvath.
Today's episode features Melissa Jaalaid, an ADHDer and recruiter who uses her own unique ADHD-related experiences to help neurodivergent people get their career started.
Melissa and I discuss our shared experiences with life before, during, and after receiving an ADHD diagnosis, the emotional components to ADHD, finding a career that work WITH your brain, and establishing partnerships that affirm your needs.
Melissa is unapologetically herself, something that she has worked to present to others, and she highlights a lot of the positive benefits of doing so.
