I've been looking for a part time job
Been looking for a part time job in Lawton, Ok since last September. I have had only one interview, that gave me all information a person would get if they were going to be hired. She said she'd call me the next morning. Never happened. I followed up to see if I missed the call, and she said she filled the job. She told me she had no other applicants she was considering, and none that had my experience. Big let down. I hold a BAS in Healthcare Administration since 2014 with a 3.3 GPA. I can't even get a job part time as file clerk. Yes, I am over 62, I've even had a stroke last March '18 that almost killed me, and I do have a disability but it doesn't stop me from answering phones, using a computer, or doing what I went to college for. I'm raising my 2 grandkids, I have bills to pay, clothes and food to buy that My disability check barely covers. Christmas is coming and I'd like to have a few things under the tree for them. That's why I'm looking for work. I've tried Walmart where I worked 5 yrs, Staples, KFC, Murphy's gas station, and actually got turned down at McDonald's cuz I was too over qualified. I've been praying every day for something positive to happen. It's been over a year now. Getting rather depressed.
Hi Dana Lindley , Are you sure you can handle those quick service and fast food work environment given your recent health experience and disability? Most of those managers will be quick to think of you as overqualified when high skilled job seekers apply for entry level jobs.
