Covid shot required to get hired?
1-1-2023 | Vanity

Posted on 01/01/2023 2:02:26 PM PST by Chicory

Gotta get a new job, and I wondered if they would want me to be up-to-date on the covid shots?

Any hints on staying positive would be much appreciated too! I'd prefer an office job, but 4 years ago noticed they did not seem to like hiring people in their late 50s. And I hear so many contradictory things that I feel confused (and more negative!).

Thanks so much!

I wasn’t bragging. It was a complete surprise to me. I didn’t even finish the online application.

I was just trying to give you some hope.

This is helpful, thank you. Especially the part about more likely to get covid!

Fact is, the younger generation doesn’t want to work, which opens up opportunities for us old pharts.

In northern California, it depends on the corporation, city/county and if the area is really left wing.

We know one young woman, who just finished her RN training and passed the national test. She has turned down RN jobs and is starting working in an ER tonight as her first RN job. She has worked as a licensed EMT with an ambulance provider.

She works 2-3 afternoons/evenings as a bartender in an upscale hotel/restaurant.

So far no one has asked if she is vaccinated.

Wow, you didn’t even finish the application! That’s what I need!

I didn’t have an inkling of a thought that you might be boasting! I just thought that it was wonderful to hear that not only did someone get a job at around my age, but the best job! That will help my positive thinking :D

Many “office jobs” can now be done remotely, but that depends on the type of office jobs you have the background for.

That may be all I have going for me, that and the fact I speak Spanish impressively if not accurately!

I’m in my mid-30’s and got very lucky. After fifteen years of health problems (including 6 on dialysis) which kept me out of the work force, I was just offered a job at my local pharmacy. I start tomorrow, but before the vid made people batty, I was about to be trained as an EMT. Immunosuppression and a new virus put things on hold there.

I was not asked to provide proof of vaccination nor asked to get any boosters.

You may consider taking something that falls into your lap if you’re capable of doing the job, as I was offered the job out of the blue while picking up meds one day, until your preferred comes along. There are lots of places where you wouldn’t think office work needs to be done, but I’m sure there are. For instance, my previous employer from before I started dialysis now desperately needs a manager and someone to handle all of the clerical for his UPS Store. In the last month, he’s lost his 3 most experienced employees and his manager to opportunities elsewhere.

You say up-to-date. That would mean boosters. Does that mean you've already taken the original jabs?

Good for you. Just remember; the more we push back the more they back down. They are cowards and only need our resolve to make them stop their wicked agenda. Also remember this: God WILL provide, no matter what, and you don’t need to take a devil-run job for sustenance. That will come from God.

Glad to be of help...

Based on the information getting out now, I would be surprised if you can still find an employer with the nads to still push it.

Even Biden has backed off by reversing the military mandate...

and yet the MSM just yawns.

Employers are actually the most vulnerable. They do NOT have immunity under the EUA for the clot shots.

They really need to find this out the hard way... the sooner the better.
