No college degree. Massive gap in my resume (years). FUCKING TRANSGENDER. Fucking beginning of my transition, I look awful, I sound awful, and I have no actual reason for someone to hire me. My CIS friends with NO GAPS, STUDYING are getting turned down for retail jobs. Jobs at car washes. WHAT FUCKING HOPE DO I HAVE?? And I’m moving so I have to quit at my current job. I’ll have good references, my previous employers have all loved me, and I technically have a bit of a nicer position for my resume now but still. I’m fucking cooked. And I desperately need a job bc no SO and I need to move out. Parents are going to be unbearable when I have to come out.

    I don’t know what to say though. When I went back to this job I put health issues, which is true I’ve been dealing with a lot of mental health stuff. But idk what to say that won’t get me caught up in it.

      "During those years, I was suffering from a debilitating chronic illness that left me nearly bedridden and unable to work.

      Luckily, all those years honed and sharpened my pure love for generating shareholder returns! This is a rare opportunity for you as an employer to harvest my fresh unbridled enthusiasm as I dive back into the workforce!"
