I'm about to be back in the market again...and to be honest, while I chose to leave the job I'm doing now, I'm terrified about trying to find a new one since I know stereotypes about obesity play into hiring decisions a lot. I had a hard time finding employment out of college, and I've heard I nearly didn't get this job because they were concerned I couldn't handle the stresses because of my weight.
(They were wrong, but still. And I'm leaving under good terms...I simply chose not to extend my contract because I want to live closer to my family in the future.)
So I guess...any advice?
