Just forgive those that are mean to you, it is hard to do, but God will punish them in the end for being so evil in this world. Karma has a way of coming back to those that are evil towards others, right?

Academic Teacher And Library Supervisor at Culver Summer Schools And Camps

A lot of places already have decided they will hire certain prominent people in a community or certain line of work, whether they are qualified or not. Also, a lot of places do not want an honest person working for them. As you can see, these so-called places of employment would not be a good fit for you in the first place.

Supervisor Labor at City Of Chicago

I interviewed for a project manager job with Morrison contractors and the supervisor told me that he would never hire a woman nevertheless a black woman. And I have a degree in project management BS. I never did get a job in that field even though I have 40 years in construction now. I just kept it moving.
