Three Strikes, I'm Out

If you walk into the building for an interview and you stand crooked due to scoliosis, are 54, and have gaps In your employment history due to past medical issues don't you think it's going to affect how the interviewer sees you? Do you think they'll hire you? Will they see you as liability and calling out all of the time.?

I think there is a section for disabilities or special needs section to work at whatever you're applying for. If you don't have one on the their list, I would write a special note of what I'm capable of doing and not in this section. Like, can not lift heavier objects than 50lbs. And leave it as that.

I'm not sure what to think an interviewer has going on. I do know that in the past, their hiring a group depended on if they liked you and if the company could turn a profit on your knowledge.

It depends on how you see yourself, if you see yourself as not worthy to receive good things or be hired then you won’t. See yourself as flawless and others will too

Companies are interested in hiring the perfect candidate to perform duties and responsibilities accurately and in a timely manner. You are considered a liability and workers comp risk but they will never say that. Instead they will move along knowing there are thousands of applicants ready and willing who can out perform you. It nothing personal, its all about money and risk assessment.
