I owned my own country store and bakery for 10 years. I lost my husband to cancer and just couldn’t handle the business by myself. Now I’ve been looking for work....minimum wage....do you think I can get work? No....this is ridiculous!
I am so deeply sorry to hear about your husband Judith Casella I can't even imagine. Of course, you can find work!! You owned a business and have had tons of awesome experience in management, customer service, etc. I guess the real question is, what would you be interested in doing now? Would you want to manage a bakery or perhaps you would like a job where you can work with people or animals?
