Lost job april 09 ...need help

I sent you a pm....i have applied high and low...and one job offer( full time ) but up to now no go...no news.....all of my nurse friends just have one thing to say...." wish they can do something...."

Do not trust the HR person's word for it! Google "job reference checks" or similar and pay a 3rd party (or have a professional-sounding friend like a secretary do it) to call the facility and pretend they're an employer checking you out. You may find that they are attempting to blacklist you. You will never know unless you check! If they are lying then perhaps claim that you never worked there and were caring for sick family members, were ill yourself (mono), etc to cover the employment gap. Be creative and let me know what they are saying.
