For the past 5 years I have not done much to to look for or obtain a more suitable career/job. I got stuck working as a bench research scientist just after graduating in 2000, I ended up not doing the best job due to depression, but nonetheless I have some supportive references and marketable skills out of it all. Since 2003, I've been a serial "temp" worker at local universities doing admin jobs of various sorts. I feel stuck. I don't quite know how to get moving again, especially in terms of marketing myself to new employers given my great no. of temp jobs, my lackluster performance in research, and given the fact that over the past 12 years I have had to recover from cancer, divorce, death of a sister, depression, and secondary illnesses from the cancer. Obviously, I don't want to share this in the work place, yet the implications are still very real....though I have recovered a great deal, I am still working towards being fully functional in my life. Please advise...Thanks!
