Gap in employment...

[Dee]

hello. i have been out of work for over a year now because of health reasons. i got into a serious car accident in november '06 and i basically have been rehabbing up until the middle of jan. of this year.

employers don't seem to want to hire people who haven't had a job in such a long time...i've been trying to get work for the last 2 months and i've had a hard time even getting interviews, let alone getting hired.

i'm wondering what i can do to give myself a better chance of being hired despite the fact that i've been unemployed for so long?

it's very frustrating, i just want to go back to having a regular life...and obviously work is a part of that.
