After 15 years at my most recent job, I retired. Now I regret leaving and my position is gone. I need a recruiter. I tried a different site and it went stale after 1 job offer and 1 potential scam. I really do have PTSD and need some help.

Update - I didn't get a job yet, but I was blessed and I can go ahead and retire. I am 67 and have been working for almost 40 years in the legal profession which I highly recommend - you will always get a job. I just want a part-time typing gig.

PTSD from one bad lead? You should retire, you don’t have what it takes to survive the job hunt these days.

Being retired is an adjustment. I took a year off and it took me about a year to adjust to not working and having a set routine and schedule everyday. I now work part time and although I like the hours, I really do miss my previous job, so I guess it's all adjusting to a new normal. I hope something comes available to you soon, just keep at it.

Is this correct? Apisero is not rolling out any new offers?

Hi everyone. Is it typical for the attorney to take credit for the work a paralegal does?

Zero credit or thank you for the work I did.
