I was terminated by my employer for 23 years due to job abandonment, I was going through some personal problems and which resulted in the job abandonment. This occurred in 2012, I have recently applied for jobs in the same line of business where I was terminated from but have not been hired. I found out that each time a perspective employer calls the HR department they ask if I am re-hirable, of course the answer is no. This is really hurting my job opportunities and I am lost on what to do. I worked for this major corporation for 23 years and now I feel like I am being black listed. What can I legally do about this? Someone please help.
