Job Hunting with Chronic Illness

We're in a time when a lot of us Spoonies may be in that lump of people looking for jobs right now, and trying to find a job when we have a chronic illness is not the same as when you are a healthy person. There are just a few things we need to consider and things we need to know.

So of course we decided to do an episode on it (are you shocked. We think you should be shocked. Ha!). So on this episode we discuss everything from what you should do before you start searching for a job, where you can find jobs that fit your needs, what to put on a resume and cover letter (and what not to), and how to manage the interview.

My Chronic Spoonful Planner is LIVE

Also, we're so excited to announce the launch of the My Chronic Spoonful Life Planner!!! Months of planning (haha, pun not intended) went into this, and we're hoping it is super helpful to all of you. It has all the things we think you'll need to keep your Spoonie life in order. It's one planner to rule them all - how you feel every day, your med tracking, meal planning, food tracking, exercise tracking, doctor appointments and outcomes, medical history, and more. You can check it out HERE.

If you want a taste of it, you can sign up for our email list and get FREE prescription tracker: 

Also, use the discount code SPOONIE to get 20% off, because we want feedback. This is our first edition, so let us know what we need to add, shrink, etc.

One more thing...when we reach 500 downloads, we'll be giving away a one-of-a-kind tee. So, tell your friends and family. We'll choose from our email list, so remember to sign up on our website!

And as promised, here are the job search and resume sites we mentioned on the podcast:

Have a good week, everyone!
