HI
I am a nurse and worked for an insurance company. Your future employer does NOT need to know about your health. I agree with Steve's (#10) post. Most employers will have group insurance and you won't need to do anything. Absolutely DO continue your coverage (you can elect COBRA for 18 months--you pay but you're covered). If there is a gap in coverage, that is when the pre existing condition stuff kicks in. If you end up with a small group (the definition varies but often <50 employees) you may need to fill out something which details your medical history. Then, it will be up to the insurance company and the employer to cover or exclude you--often exclusions are for 6 months to a year.

Good luck and keep that insurance!!

Hi Brian.
I would just answer any questions honestly and rely on your expertise. Bit I would check Monster.Com and CareerBuilder.com first. Both have some good stuff on disablilities and answering probing questions. Best wishes, anthony.
