- After learning about this opportunity, what motivated you to take the next step and apply for the position?
My friend works at the college, and he noticed the position was open so he told me to apply. The job is union and comes with a pension as someone who has disabilities. I’ve had a really bad streak with employers, and I want to have a job that at least will have a few more protections for me, I have been mocked, bullied and fired because of my disabilities and the state is currently still investigating my claims. It’s cost my previous employer 20k and counting.

———————-
I am really struggling with creating a proper response to two questions for a job that I absolutely have to get. It means protections with union representation and having had a SERIOUSLY bad streak of employers, it would mean having some safety.
My goal was to formulate the responses in a thank you letter, because it's a college that enjoys that kind of creativity, and ego stroking. But my brain is in a panic mode. I was bullied for my Panic disorder/PTSD and I am fearing that my brain will cost me a job again.
