I cant believe how hard it has been to find a job. I'm not talking about nay kind of job but a career. I have been looking to continuing my insurance career for quite a while and so far have had no luck. I had finally found something that I really enjoy and did very well at. only now I can not seem get another job at it. I have applied to every possible opening available and still no luck.  
 
Before anyone starts saying that I should just take what I available, I am required to take a desk job due to a disability... yes I have that against me as well.  
 
I try not to mention that to potential employers as i told one over the phone and well, they kinda said "sorry we can't help you then" basically. I don't wheelchair, just a cain once and a while and I cannot stand on my feet for long period of time.  
 
I was a very good Insurance Broker as I still have clients say 'Hello' to me when they see me in the mall and such or if I see them while I am out volunteering.  
 
I have tried different jobs that I would be capable of doing but: still no luck.  
 
If you have any ideas of places I can look please feel free to comment.  
Please try to stay positive,

One thing you could do is try to upgrade your skills to match what people are looking for around here, and what fits with your disability. Employers are not allowed to discriminate against people with disabilities anyways, so if they pull that again, take 'em to the Human Rights Board.  
 
Also, can I advise you to edit the name of your thread?  
 
Cuz "finding a jon in Brandon" has...unfortunate implications.

I was let go for "unknown" reasons, at time I required surgery

Another resource that might be able to help is Career Connections (I believe this program used to go by a different name, something like Westman Employment Services or similar):
