Presents findings from a project that sought to understand disabled interviewees' experiences of employment interviews. Analysis suggests such experiences were dominated by feelings of anxiety and manipulation, particularly when contextualised within contemporary labour market conditions. The article reflects on the need for ethical rather than technical concerns in employment interviews and how innovations in interview techniques may be having a negative affect on interviewees. Further stresses the need to reject victim blaming ideologies when researching disabled interviewees' experiences of employment interviews to counter the over emphasis of past research into changing the disabled person rather than the disabling interview environment.
