Redundant again

1 reply

Mehfruittea · 16/12/2017 12:54

I can't seem to keep a job since I had my baby (and became disabled), 5 jobs in 6 years. 3 ended with settlement agreements due to disability discrimination, one I walked out of as didn't have the will or energy to fight and most recent is redundancy due to poor company performance. Myself and 19 others are affected, absolutely no discrimination here.

How on earth do I salvage some sort of professional credibility from all this? Prior to having my baby I had 3 jobs totally 12 years service that clearly showed career progression. I'm a high performer and really good at what I do. It's not niche and I've not spent more than a few weeks between each job. Please help. How do I spin this at interview. I feel low because I know I wouldn't employ me.

Why wouldn't you employ yourself, so to speak, if you were the recruiter? What aid or arrangements would be needed to change your "the recruiter" mind? Other than that you could aim for short-duration jobs, that this is your "thing", it'll involve less risk from the hiring manager and solve an immediate problem of theirs but wouldn't involve long-term commitment on their part.
