• A millennial senior manager says she’s been out of work for 432 days and submitted 108 applications to no avail after taking time off to focus on cancer treatment—that is, despite having over a decade of experience and even Britain's former Prime Minister Tony Blair’s son listed as an employer on her resume.

Amy McClelland was just 31 years old when she was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer, or invasive ductal carcinoma, on March 14, 2024.
