Hi everyone
I've been without a job since June6 08 when I clocked out for lunch and never returned. My hi anxiety and relapse into depression got me. Now with the ecom. so bad, there isn't a lot out there to apply to.
I've always worked. now I am beginning to think I won't find work. I'm taking responsibility for my own actions/behaviors, but dang it, I can't take it back now. I don't know it my former employer is giving me a bad reference or not. I know for a fact that they are saying I didn't ask for help and (therefore denying that my problem was depression/anxiety) and that I can't collect unemployment. Long story, but how much do you tell someone at a job interview about why you left your last position? I'ved read many job seeking sites that you never say because of medical reasons. I'm 61 so I know ge is also an issue finding work. I need an income. The bills are getting behind. I've had only one interview in 6 months.
I'm not sure how to take responsibility for my behavior/due to the depression/ or is that thinking an excuse? Any one please comment. Be real, I am a realist in most areas of my life.
