Thumbs Up Some Advice

Hi All...

Finally something I can answer with certainty!!!
I have been in your position, and I also work in Human Resources. I can tell you that you should NOT disclose that you had an injury. Say you went back to school or was home with kids..etc....but do not talk about work related injury.
I tried for over a year to find a job and no one would hire me because I was being honest. I talked about this with numerous HR professionals that said the same thing....do not disclose your injury. I decided to use that advice when I applied for the job I am doing now. I didn't disclose, got the job and felt like crap cause I felt like I was lying. What I did do, was slowly talk about my injury until it was all out. Now, everyone knows, I have my job and no one can say anything because legally they can not ask, or fire you because of it.
Just my thoughts and opinion...

Good luck with your job search.
Rach
