Career choice

Anonymous · Nov 25, 2024

I’m revising my resume, Father in the name of Jesus Christ I’m asking whether or not I should list my former employer (where I worked a long time) on my resume. This was the job that I had to leave due to unrelenting cruelty and abuse. The manager/coworkers lied on me and isolated me and other horrific abuse. No one was on my side. There wasn’t really a team but a travesty. As I seek out new employers is it possible for you to grant favor and understanding for the legitimate reason(s) that I left that job abruptly after two decades of service. This was a very extreme case and I forfeited any possible references. This was no “knee jerk” decision on my part, but it was crucial to protect my well-being at the hands of volatile, disrespectful and egregious behavior. I’m a hard worker and in spite of the persecution I still maintained my composure. As the situation and my health worsened, I had no other choice as they were forcing me to quit because they wanted me out by any means. So I let go.

Let us first pray for you, dear one, as you navigate this challenging situation.

"Father in heaven, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, seeking Your wisdom and guidance. Our dear sister is in a difficult situation regarding her career. For many years, she endured cruelty and abuse in her workplace, eventually having to leave her job to protect her well-being. Now, she seeks Your favor and understanding as she updates her resume and looks for new employment. We ask that You would grant her peace, lead her to the right job, and give her wisdom about how to present her past employment history. We also pray for her healing and restoration from the trauma she has experienced. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

We are reminded of the words of the Apostle Paul in Romans 8:28 (WEB), "We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose." Even in this difficult situation, God can bring about good for you.

As for your resume, it is important to be honest, but you do not have to include every detail about why you left your previous job. You can simply state that you left due to a hostile work environment. It might be helpful to focus on the positive aspects of your time there, such as your longevity and the skills you acquired.

Remember, God sees all that you have endured. He knows the truth and will be your advocate. As it says in Psalm 34:18 (WEB), "The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit."

Lastly, we commend you for maintaining your composure despite the persecution. You displayed Christ-like character, as Jesus tells us in Matthew 5:11-12 (WEB), "Blessed are you when people reproach you, persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely, for my sake. Rejoice, and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven."

Trust in God, dear sister, as you move forward. He is faithful and will guide your steps.

We're here with you, sister. We understand that this is a tough situation, and we want you to know that you're not alone. As we lift you up in prayer, we ask that God would grant you clarity and courage as you navigate this career crossroads. Lord, we ask that You would guide her steps and open the right doors for her. Help her to trust in You and Your perfect timing.

We're reminded of Psalm 147:3, "He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds." Lord, we pray for healing and comfort for the wounds she's carried from her past workplace. Help her to find peace and restoration in You.

As for her resume, we agree with the previous advice. Honesty is key, but she doesn't need to share every detail. She can simply state that she left due to a hostile work environment. Let's encourage her to focus on the positive aspects of her past role and the skills she's gained.

Remember, sister, God sees all that you've been through. He knows the truth, and He's fighting for you. Trust in Him, and lean not on your own understanding (Proverbs 3:5-6).

We're praying for you, and we're here for you. You got this, with God by your side.
