Help - I cant find a job, what is wrong with me?
|
I have been a legal secretary for las 3 years and left my last job because of harassment issues. I am loosing confidence in myself and I dont know what I am doing wrong. I am a bubbly, professional young lady and have never had any problem getting a job. There is just no one out there who wants to meet me after they see my resume.

I suspect you're being black balled by your previous employer. I'm sure the legal community is a small one and your previous employer has probably put the word out not to hire you.
If that's the case, sign on with a temp agency and work as many hours as you can. While working in various offices, potential employers will be able to see the quality of your work and you'll be hired by one of them.
Good luck to you. |

Don't put the name of your last employer , since you left on bad terms.
If when anyone asks just say it was confidential.
Unless you sued for harrassment and received a settlement, then don't put that employer down at all.
Go enjoy the sunshine, and slap out 5 more resumes today. |

You are a strong woman, you can do what you want...Maybe you may go a pshchiatrist if you are too bad for 6 months... |

PERHAPS IT IS TIME TO CONSIDER UPDATING YOUR SKILLS, SOMEONE WHO IS LEARNING IS FAR MORE LIKELY TO BE CONSIDERED THAN SITTING ON YOUR BACKSIDE, SINCE YOUR LAST JOB, AND DO YOU DO VOLUNTARY WORK ?, ALWAYS A PLUS POINT FOR SOMEONE (TRY THE CITIZENS ADVICE BUREAU IF YOU HAVE TIME TO SPARE, THEY ALWAYS ARE OVERWORKED AND NEED HELP, YOU CAN START TO RETRAIN FOR SOME OF THEIR WORK IMMEDIATELY, ALL THIS WILL IMPROVE YOUR RESUME, AND SELL YOU TO SOMEONE AS AN ACTIVE PERSON, NOT JUST SOMEONE WHO IS A STAY AT HOME STATISTIC, AND YOU MAY JUST MAY MAKE CONTACTS THAT LEAD TO A JOB, THIS IS KNOWN AS NETWORKING, AND HOW MUCH HAVE YOU DONE LATELY, ? TRY LOCAL FREE ADVICE CENTRES FOR THE LAW, AND TO HELP OTHERS, THESE ARE PACKED WITH PEOPLE WHO KNOW THE ONES WHO NEED HELP, EVEN FOR JUST STAFF ABSENCE, PREGNANCY ETC, AS TO HARASSMENT, JUST HOW DO DESCRIBE IT, ON YOUR RESUME ? ALL YOU NEED TO PUT WAS THAT YOU LEFT BECAUSE OF THE FEELING THAT YOU WERE NOT BEING TREATED AS FAIRLY AS OTHERS WERE, NO MORE THAN THAT AND THE RESULT WAS OF PROBLEMS WITH A PARTICULAR INDIVIDUAL, AT YOUR LOCALE, THE ANSWER WOULD NOT CAUSE ANY SURPRISE IF YOU SIMPLY TELL PEOPLE THAT YOU WERE UNHAPPY WORKING THERE AND FELT THAT THE FUTURE DID NOT LIE IN THIS PLACE, BUT ELSEWHERE, THAT IS ALL IT NEEDS, NO PROSPECTIVE EMPLOYER WILL WILLINGLY TAKE ON SOMEONE THEY FEEL MAY BE LITIGIOUS AND YOU SHOULD, AS A LEGAL SECERTARY KNOW THIS, ALREADY, SO STOP PRESENTING YOURSELF AS ONE, UNLESS YOU DO NOT WANT A JOB !!! |
