I have completed 47 applications so far....1 interview..3 callbacks. I have a very impressive resume, a BA degree and 35 yrs experience...fields of nursing, retail, banking and restaurant. I was a Casemanager that now needs Masters or a valid updated RN. I'm taking online classes for a Medical Assistance job that will still see my age...they ask for HS grad date. OMG. No getting around it...too qualified..too OLD. And now I'm an amputee which I don't disclose but will need to address at face interview.

I cant cut it on Soc Sec. And have a disabled teen I'm full caregiver for. We can't make these bills..and I'm up all night worrying. My health couldn't be worse..Crohns for 43 yrs and now advanced..high BP..migraines...left leg amputated..and severe anxiety and depression to deal with. How terrible that I'm forcedcto work now that I need to concentrate on my declining health.. And...when I work...they take 1/2 my pay out of my daughter's SSI...so I'm working for 1/2 of my pat which barely gives us extra money to pay my bills. I can't win this game called LIFE. Scared that all this stress may kill me... Just not fair to older people and the disabled.. BTW..I was deemed Permanently and Totally Disabled since 2004.

I have been putting in multiple applications and I have some very good possibilities lined up but if anyone has any side work or household or yard work needed done, I'm located in Augusta ga. I have to find a way to make some income or else I'm going to have to take daughter put of daycare and then that will just mess the possibility of me getting a job up all together. Feeling hopeless.

Hopefully I get a job soon! In the beginning of this month I quit my job that I was at for almost 8 year's With kids and bills hopefully I land a new one that is drama free and no games that are played by employer.

Been actively searching for a senior footwear or accessories designer position. After my 2nd daughter was born, with multiple ailments, she was my priority. She was quite ill and have seen 8 different specialist, therefore, I couldn’t stay at my job and took care of her for the past 6 years. During that time, I became a single mother and am now actively seeking a full time footwear/ accessories designer. It hasn’t been easy to find a match for my location and years of experience. Any advise?

When I first stated at this company it was a family oriented feel to it. Then it was bought out by other company. We moved to a better building and then everything changed. I was hired to do filing. It took them a year to hire me as an employee and finally gave me other opportunities to do more. I worked on AP and then they came to me to ask if I could help out with the AR dept. I did everything they asked me to do. And made less then everyone in the dept. Even the new hires made more than me. When they told me that they didn’t need my help in AR anymore they put me back to AP and limit my work load. I was out for my son’s surgery in which I had doctor notes and vacation time to cover. I fall going into the dept and hit my head on the metal door frame. I had an concussion in which I was back to work the next day in fear of losing my job. In which I had doctors notes to be out of work for 2 days with the concussion. I got a cold in which it turned into walking pneumonia and again I had a doctors note and also vacation time to cover and they still let me go! I am so tired of these companies saying they put families first...These corporate...all about the money....They forget who are the REAL people who do the work!

I wish I could find a company that would put their employees first. Understand that a mother is a mother first...Understand that a person’s health is important.

I need a little advise. I have been out of the work force for a while now because my wife made great money and preferred I be a stay at home Father and Husband. My wife was involved in a near fatal car accident that has left her needing time to heal or see if she can even work. I'm having a horrible time even getting an interview.

I am moving back out of the country to be with my kids. They are ages 8yrs and 9yrs old. Their mother and l are separated but if l dont go back l will miss their entire childhood, moreover my eldest son has Cerebral Palsy, walks with the aid of a walker.

This is the thing when l lived abroad l worked in sports management as a gym and pool complex manager and pool and aquatics manager. While living back here in the states l have hardly worked mostly dead beat jobs.

Does anyone have recommendations on what l should say when applying for jobs back overseas. I mean how should l go about it what should l say the reason l moved back to the states and why l am now moving back other than to be with my kids. It has been two years. What should l put down as these jobs l had here in the state where just garbage.

Can anyone help with advice here.

Regards

I didn't know that looking and finding a job would be this hard. I have training in a lot of different skill and no where is wanting to hire me. i have customer service, food service, office setting experience and i cant get an interview anywhere. i'm just stressing because i have 4 kids to take care of on my own. I dont know what im going to do if i have to tell my kids that we are homeless again. my mental health is on the brink of collapsing

I am at a job that I really enjoy! I interviewed for a position within the company, got the job but couldn't take it because of the hours... I have a 11-month-old daughter and finding 2nd shift care is difficult... There was another job that I didn't apply for because I thought I wasn't qualified but when I saw non-qualified people getting 2nd interviews, I told myself I am gonna go for everything no matter what and that the right opportunity is gonna come and the hours will fit when it comes...

I’m needing some positive thoughts and energy. I’ve been out of work for 5 months now. I’ve had multiple interviews that went so well, and either heard nothing at all, or just got rejected. I have more interviews lined up in the next few days. I’m trying to stay positive, but it’s been tough. I’ve been a bit discouraged throughout these past few months. I’m a single mother with no help from my ex (I made significantly more prior to losing my job. And honestly didn’t think it would take this long to find something.
