Not all people can or do and you have done a marvellous job raising your girls. Where do you fee; comfortable? Is it around little kids or big ones? Or not anywhere near them. I would suggest, if you wanted a little idea, is to get some career guidance from a professional who may steer you in a direction you may not have considered. Oh, and by the way, do not think you HAVE to get a job to make a difference..it is about you liking or loving what it is!

I felt the same with not being qualified or have the right amount of experience...even for a job in a shop I'd need some sort of retail training or studying a retail course. I didn't want to have to start from the bottom and work my way up again either. I thought of being a teacher's aide too! The hours and time off during the school holidays would be great. Take care Deb, will talk to you soon xxxJulie @ Off to the Parkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00044812604091459779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4602062329925420050.post-23442196987503367462017-08-16T11:17:08.672+10:002017-08-16T11:17:08.672+10:00Hugs.

I am searching for a part time day job and so far nothing fits (really I am no longer qualified to do anything and no entry level jobs come up which I find shocking). I am hopefully about to volunteer as a teacher's aide at a local primary school to double check my gut that this is the right next job for me (a TAFE course starts October 3 and is not cheap so hubby wants me to get practical exposure to see if I DO like the role). My kids are in high school but I still feel like I need to be around and I definitely still want to be able to spend school holidays with them. So little out there for part timers. Good luck- here if you want to chat at all- email me anytime xxxDeb @ inner compass designs https://www.blogger.com/profile/01966360876083121939noreply@blogger.com
