Trying so hard

I left an abusave marriage of 14yrs. I was a stay at home mom. I don’t have much schooling and I am 47 years old. No place wants to hire me because I am old and I don’t have experience. I am one class away from my medical assistant associates degree. I have two kids and if someone won’t give me a chance to shine we will be in a homeless shelter. Should I just lie on my resume?

Well good heavens I don't know where to start here. First if you don't have confidence in you who will. Getting through school is a huge accomplishment. Make sure you play that up on the resume and please don't lie. That will really sink you. Create a new future from the ashes of your past.

U have to go at a job like u are not the legal age u are but the age the job requires. Be full of energy and life, and show them that u have potential too because you're hungry to show your kids it's never too late to go after what u want.

Stay positive and build your Confidence its very Attractive. Finish your Class and apply for every position within reason. You are not too old to get Hired. Security Personnel is always in demand. Most Companies have no age limit and all you need is a Diploma and some common sense. Its steady pay and not strenuous. Blessings to you!
