I just had liver cancer surgery about three months ago and was just recently cleared to enter the workforce again. However, I do feel that I am starting over again and was wondering if anyone has any advice to give on what avenues to take to get my professional life back on track.

Do as you would do if you didn't have the surgery. Leg work, sending/faxing resumes, checking the computer for jobs, using the different job options (i.e., Monster job.Com) and networking. Good luck, hope you find a job.

Start by pulling out that old dusty resume..... Does it say what you want it to say? What do you want to do? Before you can go somewhere, you need to figure out where you want to go.

There are a ton of resources to help you polish up your resume and assist you an a job search....I would also suggest a quick trip to the bookstore for a book by Dan Miller, 48 Days to the Job you love. He also has a website....He has a ton of information that I'm 100% positive will help you!

Congratulations on beating that cancer!!! May God continue to bless you!

Hold on........did they fire you at your previous job because of your illness or did you volunteer to quit or were you not employed? Because of the federal Medical Leave act (http://www.dol.gov/compliance/laws/comp-fmla.htm), they cannot fire you if you have a legitimate reason to be out sick. They have to give you your job back, if that was the case.

Otherwise, just look for a new job. And do not tell them about your cancer. It's none of their business and it would keep you from getting a job. They'd be afraid that your cancer would come back, and you'd be out...you know.
