I just completed an online application for a seasonal service position with Home Depot. It took me over an hour to get through it so I hope they call me for an interview. What happens to seasonal employees once the season ends? Anyone have any experience working a temporary or seasonal job? I wouldn’t mind staying on permanently if that’s an option. Can temporary workers collect unemployment benefits when the season ends?

I worked for a company for 13 years and I just couldn't handle how the supervisor was treating all of us. So I just walked out and never regretted it. I'm still unemployed, but I take online courses. When I applied for unemployment I was rejected so I appealed it and they told me that I wasn't humiliated enough. What? I applied for one job and I considered myself experienced for the position I applied for, the company called me back and told me they hired someone with more experience. I believe it all had to do with age discrimination.

I hurt my back last week sorting boxes but I didn’t report anything because I didn’t think it was anything serious. Unfortunately the pain has gotten worse. I called out sick today to go to the emergency room but I’m worried if I will loose my job if the doctor recommends that I take more time off.

I have been out of employment for 6 months now and getting really worried that I may not get hired again. Has anyone been in this situation before and what has been your personal experience ? Does the chances of getting employed goes down if you are unemployed for more than 6 months ?

Hello ALL, I just want to vent for a moment. I am currently UNEMPLOYED and it SUCKS for me; although I am getting unemployment; I still don't like it. I want to work. I always have worked since my first baby sitting job at age 12 until my late 40's I have a Degree in business and it appears with my KSA it simply does not matter.
Case and point; with all the applications I have put in and to be fair I have received interview job opportunities be it by phone, link, virtual and some face to face and I am just not getting that closure of the offer and confirmation that we all want to hear.
My story, I scaled back to a role I would not normally not even go for, but unemployment does not last forever and I want to have something in place before my funds run out and for the simple fact; I am BORED out of mind. I need human interaction and to be able to be engaged in my work.
I had a face to face interview the other day with a company I use to work for about 20 years ago and when I left that company I left in excellent standing. Appears to me, the interview went well and with another potential candidate we both talked after the interview and before we met again with the hiring manager, he stated and he may be in his late 20's early 30's he stated "wow you really blew it away in there; if I were on the other side it would be a no brainer and besides you already worked for the company before, you would think you would be a REHIRE? I don't the company SOP but I would think that too. However, it has been 20 years and when I left the company I was an hourly employee and did not have a college degree. Now, that I do, and I have 20 years more in age and going for an entry level position it appears that I AM over qualified and may not be a good fit. However, that is not the case, because I know with this company you can advance in your role quickly and move up very fast if you’re a dedicated employee. So back to my experience, they called me back in and stated something like...if we were to hire you; do you think with you being a MORE MATURE employee that you would be able to take feedback from basically someone half your age?

I was SHOCKED BY THE QUESTION? Really? age came up? TO me if you have the KSA and I don’t and your half my age then you deserve the right to be there. It’s my job to learn the role and for the folks that have exceled in the role teach me what I NEED to be successful, age has nothing to do with it. I am not here to be friends with folks, I am here to WORK excel, execute and be engaged. Come on, now...when did we get this point? I was then asked about my previous salary that was already disclosed on the original application. I stated verbally what I made before and it was already confirmed with the recruiter as she disclosed that the role was not paying as much, however had OT opportunities, which I would actually be making more for my time at work vs working 14 hours and not getting paid for it at least I would be engaged and making the money at will. My rebuttal was look; I would have never even entertained this role if I were not serious; I have no TIME for games. I did not say that out loud but COME ON leaders I have made many accomplishments over the years and yes, this is a step down you MAY think but I would rather have peace of mind, engaged, happy, and love my work before the so called salary that folks appear to be defined by. I just want to get my foot in the door, work my butt off and move up, Is THAT too much to ask?
You should know that your so called more MATURE employees work twice as hard and love it and type A IN PERSONALITY at least I am.
Give me the job so I can prove your first thought process WRONG.

I've been unemployed for 6months, my job blocked me from getting unemployment, should I try again? I don't have money to live on, I have applied for jobs but no responses
