I don't think that's evidence you're a loser, jeez. In the current circumstances and with sight issues on top of that, give yourself a break. But don't give yourself too much of a break, because giving yourself too much of a break leads to sitting around doing nothing.

Turn up looking together, well turned out, recent haircut, tidy clothes. Ideally be in shape but that's hard to fix in the short term, so make it a long term goal. The time to start that stuff is always right now as you will be fresher and better if you're recently exercised. If all the gyms in your area are shut down, figure something out. Anyway, first impressions count.

In the end confidence is everything. Have answers to common questions ready to go. But if you walk in there looking like you mean business, even if it's a basic job that you don't really want, if you walk in looking like you're going to knock it out of the park, you give yourself every reason to be confident.

I feel no need to mention it until you're in the final interview with the person you'll report directly to. And even then, I leave it until the end of the interview, usually the part where they ask the open-ended "Do you have any questions for me?". My goal would be to represent yourself as well in the interview process as you can, and once you've established that you're a great candidate for 17 other reasons, you can give a quick spiel about possible accommodations, etc. I always try to be confident and succinct about that too, "I may need some magnification software or monitor placement changes (pick 2 max, they don't need a full list), but I've set these things up before and have found it won't impact my job performance." Don't anticipate problems that may not be there. Just speak authoritatively about what you know can be solved. And then once that's squared away, I try to ask one last question related to the job or company, so my disclosure isn't the last thing we discussed.

I always mentioned it when it was relevant.

Can you drive? No. Would you be able to get a license for this job? No, I'm visually impaired - I can do the job, but we'd have to work around the driving.

If you don't believe it's relevant to doing the work that's expected of you and you don't need specific accommodations, there's no particular reason to mention it.

This assumes you're not looking to be a race car driver or a sniper, of course.

Like others have said, don’t beat yourself up. The job market is tough for everyone right now, no matter the circumstances. . The best thing to do is to prep well for the interviews and to have answers to common questions when and if you do disclose. Good luck!

I suppose it depends on the job and interview process. Like if it's 4 rounds of interviews, maybe not tell on the first one. Also if you are going for a similar job to before, when you tell them have a "however this was not an issue before as I adapt by doing this" monent ready so immediately they arent left to ponder. I know business are meant to provide and adapt and don't always or it's too much hassle for them supposedly, can you bring any adaptations from home when you do get the job?
