I am trying to re-enter the workforce - after caring for my mother who has end-stage Dementia for the past two years. I decided to be honest with potential employers - and where is it getting me - nowhere. My mother is dying - and I can't get a job because I chose to be there for her. Is there any compassion left in this world - or is this the way it is? I have a good resume - have been doing administrative work since 1990 - but being that I had to take some time for my mother - and trying to be honest about it - is not helping. Maybe I should lie? Seems to work better!

I spent a lot of time the past few years helping take care of my grandmother who really needed me. I just couldn't put her in a home, I love her so much. NO one else from my family stepped in to help me. The problem is when I look over my resume it reads like I was out of work and not doing anything. Taking care of her became a full time job in itself. What can I do either on my resume or when/if I have an interview to explain the gaps? I was thinking of just lying, but I know that would be wrong. Can someone please help??

I am disabled.I am supposed to see a spine specialist and i have othher helath &nerve problems that stems from my ex husband & my daughter.

After Rick Stahl retired and his son was tragically killed on delivery Smithton lumber hired a manager outside the family. It was a mistake. Brad lannert is not managerial material. When confronted by the board of directors to increase sales, he decided to fire me instead to save the company my salary and benefits. Lying about why you fire a man who was there 13 years is just wrong. He let a couple of greedy stockholders sway him on what to do.

I just wanted to throw this out to see if this sounds to all of you as it did to me. I had work for this company for a little over a year my anniversary was july 5th, i was out sick the week of the 4th due to getting lime disease from a tic bite. I told my work gave them all the proper documents/doctors notes ect. ect. They were pretty understanding said get to feeling better take care of yourself. Then on the 18th my father whos 72 had a massive heart attack but he was stable by the time i had to go to work, so i went into work told my supervisor what was going on and that i might need to take off if anything changes. Then he said to me " you can take off if you think it's necessary but it will cost you your job".... i was dumbfounded i didnt even know how to react. I just said something like "oh ok" with this shocked look on my face as if i was waiting for someone to say "Gotcha! " but no he was dead serious. I ended up quitting within 30 mins. After that. What do you guys think am i in the wrong ?

I have been out of work for 3 years - have been caring for my mother who has advanced dementia. She is now in hospice - and I need to go back to work - but will employers be understanding regarding the gap in my resume? I have always done administrative work and bookkeeping - am looking for something part-time - even clerical.
