No Work History

[bigdady]

Hi every one
I am a newby-----54 years old -+-27 year old felony
I have a question about the recommended work history that co's ask for, even a local school.

I have Hep C and and have not worked since 2002.Before I was in retail for 20 + years
I can pay for expences ,school, and have transportation

Question----------
Any help, information about a company that would consider giving me a chance

I understand the required employment as I hired and fired many that did not qualify
however someone with a desire would always get a chance


Thanks in advance

Being off work that long is going to be a major hurdle to overcome. Most companies take a dim view of extended unemployment periods. If you can pass a D.O.T. physical and have no lifting restrictions and can account for the past 6 years in some way or another, you may have a shot with some smaller outfit out there. But it's not going to be easy to find that company.

I appreciate the comment

I can document "time off" with med records and previous employer letter s,
people that know of the condition

Sage seemed to think that w/wout the felony they could find me a gig. :P

PS My DAC is coming forthwith, no DMV problems, can pass DOT again in February


I should have justified the fact that I passed DOT in Feb 2006.
I jumped the gun (when I started my research into the industry)!!
