I was hired on with a company on March 8, 2019. I was told I was being let go on May 2, 2019. I can't believe this... Why did they even hire me if there work pipeline was so anemic? I turned down other offers to take this job. Need some answers...

After getting laid off, I’ve been applying and interviewing and today I arrive to an interview to get rudely greeted for the second time this week in an interview, due to me looking/ being too young. I have experience I’ve been trying to work and bust my butt since I was 14 years old, me now being 19 turning 20 I am starting to feel like I get looked down on sometimes because I’m always the youngest person at my jobs, it really upset me. Am I just not looking in the right place or should I just try a restaurant or some place that “kids” work at. I have more interviews but I’m getting a bit discouraged. I’ve always looked at being younger to my advantage I started young and knew what I wanted to be in the right path for a career. Now I’m not sure I’ve never posted on here but I do enjoy reading the advice sometimes. Please if there’s anything advice you can give I’m here with open ears.

I have worked for this company for a year and they "let me go" I didn't fit in. On the exit papers it says " inability to meet job requirements". It is a specialized position in the mailing industry and I don't know any other type of work. The previous job I had for 18 years was also in Direct Mail Marketing. What do I tell future employers? I don't know where to begin looking for another job..

So I lost my job in mid February and my previous employer forced all of the staff there to stop communicating with me. To block my number and notify if I attempt contact with any of them. Keep in mind that I never said anything out of the way or threatening, never got into any altercation, did not steal or lie to anyone so I’m really not sure why this was done. It was never asked of us when any other staff members were terminated or quit. I was pretty close to several of the staff and it has really affected my self esteem and mental state. Now, I’m looking for employment as a medical assistant and have had 3 interviews which I usually knock out of the park and I just left all 3 feeling like they weren’t my best. Obviously they weren’t, because I’m still unemployed. I feel like all this is affecting my interviewing skills.

I, apparently, exist in an employment grey area. I have an AS in psychology, a BA in marketing, a BS in Organizational Management and Leadership, a MBA in Finance, and a Juris Doctor with advanced certifications in alternative dispute resolution and corporate law. I do not practice law. I have held regional and national directors positions with 3 companies and have consulted at the c-suite level for more than a dozen. When I apply for c-suite executive level positions I am told that I don’t have enough experience. When I apply for mid level management or entry level experience they take one look at my resume (specifically my education) and decide I am overqualified and won’t stay. I was laid off twice in 2018 - the last took place two weeks before Christmas. I have been looking ever since. I think I’ve heard this same explanation for why I wasn’t selected a dozen times. I had one recruiter suggest I remove some of my education from my resume to make it less intimidating for lower paying jobs! This not only sounds like terrible advice but it bordered on offensive. I clearly devoted half of my life to my education and now I’m being told that I can’t find work unless I lie and say I have less than I do? Does anyone have any suggestions that are actually helpful?

I need some advise about two months ago I got a job working for a good company their competition is Home Depot but once I accepted the job I became very sick and to decline before even worked my first day so fast forward today my health is back on track so how do go by starting the process of obtaining that job again? How do I know if they would even consider me back after turn them down before first day of work. I love to be part of the company but just nervous if they would give me a second chance.so any thoughts would be welcome...thanks

Thank you everyone. Thank you for the good advice and also thank you for all the jobs you have posted for me. I appreciate everything. Losing a job is not a good feeling but I am out there looking. Once again thank you

I’ve worked in a neurosurgical office since 1999. February 28 the physician I worked for closed the office due to not making enough to support a staff, pay rent, malpractice insurance and everything else it takes. He is a great boss, excellent neurosurgeon and a friend. It was almost like a breakup or divorce. But I’m over that feeling and very excited about this job! Good lick to all you job seekers out there! BTW I’m 55 and the doctor I’m going to work for is younger than me!
