How do I go about to obtain a job after quitting due to knee issues?

Veteran

I am not sure when this happened. When I came back home in 2010 and then found work at Kroger. I worked two years in produce before going to nights. Then after stocking over 1000 items by myself my bursa blew out in my knee. Then after quitting that job I found some essential oils for pain and the knee went back to normal. I then found work at Walmart but after Hurricane Harvey they worked me so hard that my knee messed up again and I had so much pain that I could not work. I did try to get the attention of my bosses, they kept blowing me off. I left in September of 2017. I thought I had another part time job at Market basket but could not keep it due to pain. Now I need a job and cannot get hired. Course the interviews I have obtained have not gone smoothly.

I live in Beaumont and I can say that I have not looked into the job retraining since I do not have the diagnoses needed to get back into the retraining that they had. Even though I have medical through the VA I still have to pay for the treatment. I figured I would have to get out of retail. Thanks, I just do not know what to do right now. I am trusting God that something will come along.

It sounds like you need to get medical attention for your knee or look for a different job field . Try the VA and job retraining programs in your area. Most jobs require some sort of interview so you need to say more about your interview issues if you want help from us.
