Thank you for all positive thoughts and prayers. I was incredibly calm during interview. Unfortunately, I think that I made a big mistake during interview. I told her the reason that I left my last job was to take some time off & take a break. And, that I didn't need to work at that time. Actually, the main reason I left was due to poor health. I have a chronic illness, and I was in exacerbation mode when I quit. That was 4 yrs. ago. I have been healthy for the last two years. I have been on disability for the last 4 years.
I had resume with me during interview. I did not fill out application until after the interview. On the application, I stated that I left my last job because I chose to take some time off because my job became too physical for my health at that time. I had the application faxed to her, and a note to call me with any questions. I can just hope that she will call. And, be understanding the reason I did not divulge my "real reason" for leaving my last job. during the interview. This was an LPN job in a county jail. It did not sound physical. I guess that I was being deceitful by not telling the whole reason I left my last job. But, when people hear you have a chronic illness, they do not want to hire you. However, I should have been totally honest. I really wanted that job.
But, thanks to all who replied. I was more calm than usual. Even though, I goofed!
Should I ask for prayers that she will be understanding, and forgive my not telling the whole story why I left my last job? I am really upset about this.
Hi Janna,
Just take a deep breath and let all the worry GO! If this job is meant to be then the interview/application form part will be sorted. If it does turn out to be a problem then this job may not be for you. At least you will have had the experience of having an interview which will make you a bit more confident for the next one (we learn by our mistakes!). Just sit back now and go with the flow with whatever happens.
Love and light

Its great that you were so calm for the interview Janna - concentrate on the positive and let the negative go.

Please don't be hard on yourself Janna, :hug: sometimes in life people do have to be 'economical with the truth' job wise, myself included ( when i was 18, i got the sack for my surly attitude , but told a future employer i was made redundant - which was partly true, as they were cutting back on staff and told me this was one of the reasons why i was being given the boot !) and guess what? i got the job!
I also echo Reikiangel's and Wispy~ misty's advice too.:)

Thank you for replies. I feel a little better this morning after sleeping. If she happens to call, I will explain everything to her. Also, she asked me if I was flexible, if they would call me to come in on my day off. I am quite flexible and willing to go in on different day. However, I need to watch my hrs. at first. I am still able to collect disability up to one year from my former employment disability plan, if I would work PT. However, FT would cancel out my disability payment. In my last job, I worked way too much,(lot of OT) and I am afraid that may have led to exacerbation of my illness. My family would be really upset if I worked that much again. I am one of those people that have a hard time saying,"no".
