Second Chance

I was sick with MS. I had to stop working. I went through a bone marrow stem cell transplant and I three years out perfectly fine.


So this is very hard because I can write a resume. It just with the big gap and being very ill at one point to be taken serious by employer's. I fought a battle with MS. So I am determine to get my life back. The question is how should I go about it? How do I redo my resume when it been seven years not working? I use to do outside sales and payroll is my experience but I have been on interviews an tried to lie but they can check through my social security number an find the truth? I know they will think I'm some type of liability to hire but I can do walk and do the same things before I got sick.
