I need some help. I have applied at MD Anderson for several Sr. Administrative assistants positions and I passed the test as well. I still have not heard from anybody there. I received a call from an agency today that one of the oil companies rejected my resume because of the job cap. I suffered an injury last year, so I was taking physical therapy for 4 months last year. Now, ready to back to work. Any advice.

I'm a 50 something year old women. I've been unemployed since 2012 taking care of my elderly parents. During this time I have also become obese.

Now, I'm ready to go out into the work force again, but I am not sure exactly what kind of work to seek. I can't sit for very long or stand for very long (age and obese related pains).

I am not sure anyone will hire me with my limitations.

Does anyone have any suggestions for me??

Hi All —

I came across this article which is a good read. I encourage anyone to take note of this.

I am 21 I Haven't Worked Since I Was 19 And I've Only Had 2 Jobs Ever Before And Fast Food Is Overwhelming But If Fast Food Is All That I Can Get Hired From Then So Be It Because Now I Know I'm Able To Handle The Minimum Wage If I Need To , I Currently Don't Work And Have Nothing To Do other Than Stay Home And Find Jobs And Get prepared To Finish School Or Get Into Job Corps I Hope There's A Good Job For Me I Have Fast Learning Skills And I'm Also A Hardworker

I have been out of work since December of 2017. When placing my resume online, is it best to leave the end date blank like I still work there or should I put the end date? I have been told if you've been out of work for a long time, it looks bad. It's becoming more and more frustrating because I've put so many resumes out there, but only a few interviews. I have been a Project Manager for over 20 years, but I have no degree or a PMI Certification.

It has set me into depression, because I am so used to working, and providing.

I'm looking for a job. I haven't worked in the past two years because I'm taking care of my mother in law. Now I'm ready to go back to work. I don't have a car at the moment. But I'm willing to work hard and I live in North ft Myers FL. Any advice or suggestions need help.

How hard is it to find a job after you decide to take some time off after having having a baby?

I have a very big gap in my work history how do I fix this on my resume and cover letter?

I've been a stay-at-home mom for 10 years before that I took care of my sick relatives I have very little experience and I still can't find a job because of that what should I do I'm starting to feel hopeless I just want a chance but it's so hard to find anybody willing to take a chance on somebody with no work history

Please bear with me because this is very difficult to put myself out there with such an emotional journey! Even at 60 years of age, I have always been a rock and able to deal with everything that was put in front of me. I have had two jobs in my adult life; one for 19 yrs.( until plant closed) and my last job for 15 yrs. I lost my last job and collected for 6 months, and finding a new job became difficult. I found work but was not happy! It was the beginning of 2016(lost my 15 yr. job 3-2015),when my things happened that rocked my world. My father was diagnosed with Altzheimers, and I had to help my mother out with their needs as my mother doesn’t drive, nor does my wife. But it was manageable. Then in March of 2016, I received that dreaded middle of the night phone call. My son was rushed to the hospital. He had tried to commit suicide and was on life support. The outcome was obvious. I had lost my son. But then 3 months to the DAY my brother and my son’s godfather(and was there for my son) committed suicide. That same call late at night came and an eerie feeling came over me I knew. He was buried on my B-day. It has taken 2 yrs. for me to finally ease the emotional pain,feelings and the depression that enveloped my life. Just two last comments; I appreciate all the support and prayers but the walk in my shoes statement fits here because just telling my story does’t truly tell the mental and physical struggles I endured,while also keeping my soberierty of 28 yrs intact. I,m close to the old me again!!! SSSSooooo how does this fit to explain my gap in employment? ( if in fact it does or in a shorter form. Help
