Hello everyone,
So I would like some advice on my situation and how I could possibly make it better:
Around July 2023 I left my job as a veterinarian assistant due to being burnt out and being mistreated. When I first started everything was going great, found a decent job and pay, downside was it was 45 minutes from where I live, which is the norm in DC, and worked four 10 hour shifts, but again at the time I was OK with it because I was essentially promised all these things which would have led me to pursue the next level which was becoming a technician.
However, one of the OGs and I had a slight argument and next thing I know, I'm regulated to the front desk as a receptionist and instead of four 10 hour shifts, I was now working five. I started becoming worn out and I started to get sick and it started to leak over into my home life.
I have to be honest and say that it started to affect my work and working with live animals, I would be devastated if something happened because I wasn't at my best, so I tried talking to my manager and the owner of the practice, but it went ignored and it got so bad that they wouldn't even speak to me.
I ended up writing my resignation and left.
I have been applying for jobs since I left and nothing. Not even a retail store has called me back. I'm worried that regardless of how professional my leaving was, that situation has something to do with it. Like, I don't know if there is a "blacklist" but it concerns me.
Even though my job and I didn't see eye to eye, I did my best to remain cordial and professional, so I'm not sure what to think.
Any advice or guidance would greatly help me.
Thank you.

intervewing for same role twice
1 year ago I interviewed for a company made it to the 4th last interview . I rescheduled the last interview 2x because I was sick but I had to suck it up and still go sick otherwise my opportunity would pass .
i ended up bombing it bc I was too sick and I could not reschedule for a third time
I applied for the same job again , do you think they will give me a second chance if I explain I was sick the first time ? I executed every interview before that

Ethnic minorities do wirk quite hard actually, and I think they are getting underestimated at times.
The statue of a slave owner was on the grounds of the first. I didn't think too much into it.

It is like 12 years that they are doing this. I was grad school, when my undergraduate boss had started to this. And after that my grad supervisors were doing this.
It is work done, that's why money is coming to it. It's a professional contract. Just misusing a psychological contract is not on. It's immoral.

Will AI Take Your Job?
Not so fast…
We’re hearing a lot of noise about AI taking over the workforce. But a recent study from MIT shows it’s not happening as fast or as broadly as we might think.
While some tasks can be automated, most aren’t cost-effective for companies to replace, yet. That gives you time to adapt, upskill, and stay ahead.
In my latest newsletter, I break down what this research means for you, how to protect your role from automation, and why human skills still matter more than ever.
? Read it here!
? Question for you: Do you feel prepared for AI’s impact on your industry?
✅ Yes, I’m adapting already
? I’m not sure where to start
? Honestly? A little nervous

My boss stepped down and I ended up crying because he was leaving .
He has been very kind and very accommodating. Do you think i may have acted unprofessional by crying?
My new manager isn't very happy with me. How can I best work with my new manager.
Thanks
