I’ve been a stay-at-home mom for 7 yrs & now I want a job. Where do I start?
I already have a resume posted on Yahoo! hotjobs & on Monster, but I’m not having any luck. What am I doing wrong?
It is difficult to go back into the workforce after staying home – I know, because I’ve been there. I found part-time work first – then I got two part time jobs – - then one job (after I worked there a while) hired me on full time so I could scale back to one job. I don’t know what type of education or work background you have but make sure your skills are up to date. Do some research about current trends in your area of expertise and network with family and friends letting them know you are looking for employment – networking is a great way to get a job, too.
I’d avoid posting your resume and expecting to get results in this economy – and I also think posting a resume allows too many unsavory people access to your information. Apply for jobs you want directly to the source. Make sure your resume and any application materials are well formatted and error free.
Good luck.
