I was let go from a job after returning from medical leave. No reason was given. The firing was discriminatory. I spoke with two legal officials that confirmed it was wrongful termination. Fast forward it has been months and I have only been on interviews for entry level jobs even though I have over five years of experience. I think the firing is hurting my job opportunities. I have a letter of recommendation from a manager that worked with me. Any suggestions of what else I can do to help?

Have you tried find temporary/contract work? This could help get your foot in the door somewhere easier and will help add experience that will make that job less relevant.

I did tax work, which ended with the tax season and I am looking for more temp work. I worked with the tax company successfully during tax season, but I’m finding recruiters still focusing more on the previous full time position I had.

No one should know about the firing until late in the process?

Do you have or take any legal action against your former employer?

The job market does stink right now for those who are looking for a new role. Networking would probably help and maybe someone that you know could recommend you to an open position or soon to be open position at the company they work for.

I landed my first accounting related role after a recommendation from a friend of the family at the place they worked at.

I have. Working with the EEOC is a long process, but my lawyer and I have been working on it. Thanks for your feedback.

If you sue, it will show up on your record and background check.

I think that’s if it goes to federal court. Employers aren’t supposed to discriminate if you file a complaint, but I can understand the concern.

In reality, most of these DSA concepts are already implemented in some libraries our code uses and we rarely have to code such Algorithms by hand.
