I have over 75 face to face interviews documented by date and time , these job interviews had taken place in a 13 month period. In Maryland.


Of these 75 interviews becacuse of pain I completed 34 interviews of which pain was an issue sitting in chairs or standing.

I complete my ? MMI today the doctor said perhaps I should work with my back issues.

Who determines my employment future after the MMI?
How many interviews must I be rejected from before being unemployable?
I am 50 years old with a 4 year degree and had not worked in 7 years.

I cant bend more than 12 degrees, cant tie my shoes , I want to work but can't any suggestions. To improve my employment status?

what's your state?
benefits/rules are different in each.
you can put your location in your profile for easier identification.
work comp programs are voluntary so you make your own employment decisions however the rules & regulations determine your eligibility for disability payments.
the number of interviews by themselves aren't necessarily a guarantee of a job; you need transferable skills and the right labor market.
is your rehabilitation being managed by a professional?
there are a number of ergonomic modifications that can reduce the sitting/standing stresses.
