For years I have been trying to better my life, not only for me but for my 13-year-old daughter.
Annie Lane encourages today's reader not to give up on bettering their life and gives hope that more job opportunities are out there.
I am a 34-year-old single mother. Last year, I was offered a job at a hospital for a good service position. I passed my background check but failed the drug screening because I tested positive for THC. I only consumed it one time, and I told that to the hiring manager, but she said that they have a no-tolerance policy.
I was crushed after I withdrew my application. I was wondering if you can give me advice on the entire situation. I have been clean since November. It was a one-time thing and a horrible mistake. I was wondering if I should reapply for the same position. I even took a course online and got my food aid certificate, which would help me get this job back. -- Lost Out on a Good OpportunityAll is not lost. In fact, it is better than ever because you are clean and sober.
