Default No Work History

Hi every one
I am a newby-----54 years old -+-27 year old felony
I have a question about the recommended work history that co's ask for, even a local school.

I have Hep C and and have not worked since 2002.Before I was in retail for 20 + years
I can pay for expences ,school, and have transportation

Question----------
Any help, information about a company that would consider giving me a chance

I understand the required employment as I hired and fired many that did not qualify
however someone with a desire would always get a chance


Thanks in advance

Being off work that long is going to be a major hurdle to overcome. Most companies take a dim view of extended unemployment periods. If you can pass a D.O.T. physical and have no lifting restrictions and can account for the past 6 years in some way or another, you may have a shot with some smaller outfit out there. But it's not going to be easy to find that company.

PS My DAC is coming forthwith, no DMV problems, can pass DOT again in February


I should have justified the fact that I passed DOT in Feb 2006.
I jumped the gun (when I started my research into the industry)!!
