    Feeling Planning Thinking

    I've been struggling to find a job for the past year, and it's been really tough. I never graduated from college due to disabilities that went untreated at the time, and now I'm considering whether going back to school or taking online classes would be a good move. I feel like not having a degree puts me at a serious disadvantage compared to other applicants. My partner and I could manage financially with my loans while I study, and I'm hoping that graduating could lead to better job opportunities in the future. But honestly, I'm feeling lost about what to do next.

    Feeling Miscellaneous Planning Thinking

    I recently faced a challenging situation after being diagnosed with long COVID, which led to me losing my job late last year. Now that I’m feeling better and ready to jump back into the workforce, I’m struggling with the year-long gap on my resume. It feels like finding a job is nearly impossible due to this absence. I’m seeking advice on how to effectively address this gap during my job search. I’ve heard suggestions about being honest and framing the gap positively, like mentioning that I was focusing on my health and skill development during that time. I’d appreciate any tips or personal experiences that could help me navigate this situation.
