Getting a job while having health issues can be a problem, but don't just take my word for it.

Ryan Hamner is a four-time survivor of Hodgkin lymphoma, a musician and a writer. In 2011, he wrote and recorded, "Where Hope Lives" for the American Cancer Society and the song for survivors, "Survivors Survive" used in 2015 for #WorldCancerDay. Currently, he operates his website for those affected by cancer, 2surviveonline.com and drinks a ridiculous amount of coffee per day.
I was sitting in my favorite coffee shop, going back and forth between writing, tweeting, searching for jobs and enjoying a significant coffee buzz. That is when I got a phone call from a recruiter who thought I was a perfect fit for a content developer role. Honestly, at that point, I thought I was the perfect fit for almost any position – even working as one of the furry animal people that wave at you on the side of the road outside of some of these pizza places, although that is a little creepy.
It had been a little over a year since I last worked a corporate job. Since that time, I had worked for myself, writing and doing freelance jobs for small companies, but insurance isn't cheap, ya know? Oh, which reminds me, during that time since my last job, my heart rate had also hit over 250 beats per minute and resulted in a little heart procedure.
