Need advice for dealing with human resources and also for an upcoming phone interview

For the past few months, I have been working in a call center that appears to require just a little more speed and multitasking ability than I have. So, just to be on the safe side, I've been looking for other work and have a phone interview coming up. This afternoon, I was reviewing the job ...

I am so glad I found you. I am a middle aged lady who was officially diagnosed with DCD/Dyspraxia about 5 months ago when I was having trouble completing a veterinary technology program.
