I think I may know why I haven’t found steady employment or get an interview. It may be because my resume indicates that I job hop. But this was a result of me being let go from temp jobs and for a year I haven’t been able to get out. What can I do? I can’t seem to convince anyone.
I have a problem and I think this is what is hindering me finding steady employment or even getting an interview. Experience on my resume may indicate that I job hop. This was through me not quitting but me being let go as a temp and haven’t been able to get out of temp jobs. What can I do?

I had to leave my business and career that I loved to take care of my parents. I look forward to getting back into a rewarding career.
I'm 31 & since I was 19 have been a stay at home parent. I've had small part time cashier jobs, truck stop Dollar General... I've also had housekeeping jobs cleaning beach houses and residential homes. But things have changed & I find myself desperately searching for a job that is full time or at least pays enough to cover the few small bills I have. I've put over 50 applications in online because that's how most places want you to apply. I haven't tried applying out of my league, that's next however, but I haven't gotten but 2 calls for an interview! Both interviews seemed to be going well until I was asked about my job history. Needless to say I didn't get either job due to lack of experience. I'm a total people person & was loved by all my coworkers & customers at the few jobs I have had. My resume is short and not very appealing to the people in charge of hiring. If I were given the chance to apply in person and meet some of the managers I feel I'd stand slightly more of a chance than I have applying online. These online applications are sorted through by experience, skill & Lord knows what else but after 50 applications and 0 luck I'm beginning to wonder what I'm lacking.... Any tips on how a single mother with less than 2 years retail/sales experience is supposed to find a job & support her household???
I am starting over after 23 years at home and raising kids and being a helpful wife to my husband of 25 years. Now, I find myself needing to get a job and although I have lots of experience in many areas... I keep getting denied. I think my resume is sabotaging me! I need help understanding how to present a 50+ year old who is young at heart and very willing to learn and work. I need income in order to provide for my 4 daughters.
I had a phone interview today in which the interviewer asked me an odd question. She asked how I survived financially during an 8-month job gap 10 or so years ago. She then said she wondered if I had lived off savings. Does anyone have any ideas about how an answer to that question might help her determine if I am suitable for the job?
What can I do to make an unforgettable impression because I am a great teacher. I just took off to raise my own child
As I look at the length of time I've stayed at these jobs I see that its 2 months here or 3 months there or 6 months there (if accurate). I believe this is the reason Im not getting any call backs. I hate listing the jobs where I only stayed a few months. Its embarrassing. I even fill like not even applying anywhere. What's the use? How can I make MY resume still stand out? How can I fill in the application if I was terminated or quit?
What is a good advice for single mothers who haven't worked for past 5 years to take care of their children, but is now ready to go back to work now that the kids are of age to stay at home without parental supervision
