Summary
So I’m basically a 38-year-old male that is looking for a new job. I recently was diagnosed with brain cancer last year and unfortunately, a lot of companies won’t even give me a chance. I just need to get back to work so my family and I can quit struggling and that’s my goal is to find a place where I can turn into my home and start a new career.
