Do I deserve another chance?

I was fired from my job of 3 years for falling asleep. I care for my disabled husband after he broke his neck a year ago. Having had a particularly rough night caring for him, I got about 3 hours sleep. The office was very quiet that day and I had completed my work. After being allowed to complete my day, I went home. When I went to work the next morning, I was immediately sent home without pay. It took them 2 weeks to officially fire me. My unemployment was denied. My former employers didn't even mention the fact that I was always early, that I often went out of my way to do company business, was proficient in my responsibilities, and we'll liked by clients. Now, I can't seem to find a job anywhere. I feel like they have black balled me and are giving negative responses to perspective employers. As hard as I tried to appease my supervisor, nothing was good enough. What do you think?

Ready To Work Again, But No Luck!

My last job was officially in 2011. My mother and father needed help with a caregiver. So for 6 years, other than an insurance class here and there. I have a huge gap on my resume. I was hired in 2017 for office work but turned out the pool business and selling new pool renovations wasn't my thing to say the least.

My resume has still managed to get me requests for Assesment tests, which sadly I just past at average scores. There are plenty of qualified, younger candidates that on paper are getting hired.

Is there anything I can do to open up some doors? I have over 20 years experience in Office Administrator skills. I am also 53 years old.

Working with...not my family

Have anyone had a Boss/Manager who would gladly hire his Son in law...Brother's Son..etc etc. You there working your butt off...knowing that his family get away or do less then you. And in my case...my manager would empower certain employees with a sense of power. He likes...no loves it when they "report" stuff to him. All this for 13/hr. And there is only like 12 employees at most. This guy my manager hates confrontation but love talking shit about his employees behind their back. Anyone in same situation or close. I would love to read about your story..lol

Interview - Wait time

What is the average wait time for one to land a job they desire? I had resigned from my previous role in December 2018 due to my father's illness which was followed by his demise. I had to leave to my home country for 3 months to recuperate and settle a few things for my mother. I was back on March 19 and started looking around mid of the month. Have given few interviews but nothing clicked so far. I was just curious to know how it works for other applicants.

Private Transportation/Driver/Courier

It is difficult for a woman to get a business up and running. Well for me it seems impossible. I'm 47, going through a nasty divorce and trying to improve my credit score. My driving record is great. I'm an attentive listener and conversationalist. I believe in my business choice. Networking is a must and I'm not able to get out and do that much. Always thinking about alternatives to loans and grants since I've had no luck with them. Wondering what I should do or who's out there that could offer some help/advice.

One time I felt unfairness at the work place was...

When I worked at the same company as my husband (now ex-husband). We had moved to another town because he had gotten promoted to store manager and they transferred me to the same store. Since we were married and he was the boss then we had decided that if I had any questions or needed help with something that I would go to the Assistant Manager and she would take care of it. That wasn’t a problem at all, it worked out great. Move along a few years and the corporate guys came for a visit. They wanted to talk to me, which was kinda unusual. I went in the office and sat down and they start telling me about a different store that has a husband and wife that work together and one is the manager. Long story short, they ended up being crooked and stealing stuff so they had decided that from now on that the manager of a store couldn’t have their immediate family work under them. I explained that I had always gone to the Assistant Manager for all my questions and or problems I had. They then proceeded to tell me since this was the only other store where spouses worked under the other that they were going to let me go. They would pay me my 2 weeks vacation and my personal and sick days and they wouldn’t fight my unemployment if I filed, which of course I did. I got to thinking that there should be a grandfather clause, and I should be under that clause because this new rule started 5 years after I started working there. So now that my husband and I are divorced and I have found out other things about him and things he’s done to deliberately try to get me into trouble. Was it really corporates idea to let me go or had my husband beydoing something to make me look bad and I just didn’t know it? He got fired from that same company just 8 months after they let me go and he told me a different story than I heard from another manager at the first store we worked at together. I’m not really sure what really happened with me being let go, but I feel if the story they told me was true then I should have been protected underneath the grandfather clause. Don’t you?

Homemaker

I have been looking for a job for about the past 3 years, and I finally found one that fits my schedule. I have a special needs child, and need to work things around his schedule. It is part time, but I am so glad I found it. I start in a week, and I am so excited. It is only 8-12 hrs. a week, but perfect for me now, and could possibly turn into something later. Anyway, don't lose hope if you are still looking. Everything happens for a reason, and at the right time.

Employed after 1yr wait...

So glad I didn't give up. Finally, after moving to a new state 2,000miles from the previous one, I got hired in a good fit position. Although I went through an agency, it happened so fast to my surprise & the team I work for is very cohesive. The journey was very VERY hard while battling homelessness & sadness along with my husband. It was such a culture shock as a result of moving and a challenge, but made it through it all. Keep hope alive everyone. Keep moving forward. No matter what it takes, persevere. I speak life to you all looking for employment this day.
