Salat Times

I need help finding work that supports the hijab. I live in USA and I work covered as much as I can do. I cover my hair I ware turtle neck long sleeves ,with the uniform work requires I do all I can to be as covered as possible. I work with food so waring a scarf around my head is health code... Not sure why. But I ware a silk head piece that covers my head forehead ears and most of my neck. Anyways because I ware hijab / khamir at all other times., I feel like I am playing with the beautiful hijab/ khamir. If I don't find a job that lets me do this my next move is not work and have no future. Please help me insha Allah .

I don't understand what that is. Pray a special prayer? I need an Islamic point of view on what i am doing for my clothes for work. I love my hajib and I have much shame for not wearing it in work

SALAM ALAYKOM my sister,i have a similar situation here,but yours is a better case THAN mine because you can cover your head atleast,me my country is a christian nation and i work in the military were they dont allow you to add anything on uniform,especially the fact that i became muslim after my country sent me abroad to study a military course,my life is in shabbles right now,i dont even wish to do back to my country because my parents cant accept the fact that am a muslim now,i think they cant stand seeing me in an abaya and a hijab,second my work cant accept this fact too because they have a very bad picture about muslims and now that am muslim; they think muslims are terrorist,especially the fact that am in the military they are afraid that i will steal their weapons,all these things.but to SUM IT UP ALL,i have decided to RESIGN INSHAA ALLAH WHEN I GO BACK TO MY COUNTRY IN RAMAHDAN.because i cant continue doing a job that contradict my religion,i would rather go and serve my parents and sleep hungry than doing my work because my work is made up of 99.99% HARAM AND 0.01% HALAL.i know allah will give me a better job than what i have now.i advise you to do the same,you dont know what allah has prepared for you.my country want me to pay them the money which they spent and are spending on my study in this foreign country since i want to resign but i dont have this amount of money to pay them,but AM STILL Standing my ground,'AM RESIGNING"inshaa allah,if they want to take me to prison for failing to pay them its ok provided i can serve ALLAH, MY SISTER,let us not take too much treasure in eartly things.THEY ARE JUST BUT FOR A SHORT TIME.if you die you will leave your money,your house,your etc and go be buried nothing BUT IF YOU PUT FORTH YOU GOOD DEEDS,THEY WILL ALWAYS BE WITH YOU.LETS NOT LOVE THIS DHUNYA LIFE. YOU HAVE MORE FUTURE DOING WHAT IS RIGHT FOR ALLAH THAN DOING WHAT IS GOOD FOR YOUR EARTHLY LIFE. MAY ALLAH MAKE EVERYTHING EASY FOR YOU.AS FOR ME,""""AM RESIGNING""'.inshaa allah.SALAM ALAYKOM my sister
