Hello Shirley, Make sure to use all avenues when job searching. You may find yourself doing something you would have otherwise not applied to.

Dear Shirley, If you reside in central PA., I may be able to help you. The company I represent is currently hiring qualified persons. If you'd like to know more, send me an email and put "work inquiry" as the subject of the email. I will respond with additional information.

There are trainings and when you finish they can help you get a job. Also there Are programs for housewives that have stayed home for years and you can qualify as a homemaker to receive the training

Hi Shirley. Your message doesn't say where you live, but if you're in a city or close to one, what about advertising to clean homes for people? Advertising can be as simple as putting some flyers with a tear-off on public bulletin boards in local coffee shops or supermarkets. Also spread the word through friends, your church, and so on. There are lots of people who can afford cleaning help for themselves or elderly parents. You'd be self-employed - no boss, no punching a time clock. It doesn't necessarily mean charging minimum wage either - you can ask more to cover your travel time and expenses, the costs of the cleaning products if you bring your own, and so on. It wouldn't give you benefits like health insurance, but hopefully you have that through your spouse? Good luck, I hope this helps.

Shirley: you have more skills than you realize perhaps. What does a so-called "housewife" have charge of? Child Care; Banking; Basic Bookkeeping; teachable on the job; reliable (you are always dependable); housekeeping; food shopper; prep and cook; teacher to your family members (regardless of how small you see those skills).

It usually is what we as workers are willing to do for a line of work; how much must you be able to tolerate on the job and if the commute is either close by or too far; what the winter weather brings when you have to go to work, etc.

Most people today do not give themselves much credit at all. If you know how to make a good cup of coffee; you could work at any coffee place; or start off as a waitress if you want to start in a small diner, or cafe (people earn daily tips if your customers like you or not); do you mind working with a group or a "team" of people? Wal-Mart stores; Target Stores and lots of big stores are always hiring. Many do not earn enough hours; that's why workers usually find a regular schedule they can work at and find another part time job while you work.

If you are using a resume; and many places you don't really need one; just three (3) excellent character or business professionals you know who will give the recruiter some vision of who you are as a person they are going to hire.

Many people I know who pound the pavement seeking work; do not plan first. They don't sit down over a nice drink alone; or with people they trust and look up to and figure out what the best places would be to apply to.

As you are well aware; most every job wants an "online" application. What does the other part of the population do to find employment if they don't know how to use a computer in general? They either go to the nearest career center and find out if they are offering any free workshops to get those general skills.

If you have a pleasant appearance and enjoy talking; you could find jobs as a front desk Receptionist. Many hotels and motels need front desk people; many of these companies may be willing to train you. You can say, you have been a "at-home mother" and now that the little ones are independent, you have the focus and the time and interest to get back working.

Some folks will start as part time workers to "get their feet wet" and build up their confidence again. Many female workers make the huge mistake by telling new co-workers all about their personal business and should keep the conversations to topics and not people.

Never comment on gossip because it will probably come back to bite you in the butt. Many homemakers like caring for elders and find work in that elders home by their own advertising; and others get on the job free training applying to the local elder services agencies that are everywhere and have great need.

I know some young mother's who had no experiences outside of caring for their home and husbands and kids and thought they had no talent or skill sets; but, "no way Jose" they sat down, made a list of everything they did in that home and low and behold---they began to see all their talents.

If you know how to count money accurately, and most equipment today does that for you. You can work as a cashier in a small shops, stores, grocery stores; deli depts if you can stand longer hours and if you don't mind the cold of working with cold foods.

Some women and young ladies will make a simple resume and I could help you to do that if you wanted for 'FREE"

I have been trained as a generalist; which means I was a clerk; I worked in a welfare office in my undergrad years while raising a little child alone. I graduated and had a job already for me because people who I worked for saw my enthusiasm and how good I got along with my co-workers and the administrative staff. Always showed up for work fifteen or twenty minutes early; always looked neat and clean and had a smile on my face.

I worked for years as a social worker; child support enforcer in the criminal division; took on extra duties as a housing agent helping families with dependent children who were homeless or in jeapardy of losing their rental because they lived in seasonal places where the summer rents changed from a winter rental (lower rent) and tripled in the summer months. I've worked as a counselor for girls, and mature women who wanted to get their high school diploma. Most schools have early evening classes; some school depts are hiring --- through what is called, "School Spring" online. Sometimes you can be assertive and just cut to the chase and call the owner or the Principal and find out if they will need workers next year while you continue to find short term work. Many temp agencies are always hiring. I worked as a temp to permanent office support worker in Boston for a time and it was very good because you actually get to see what that business does; what the climate of the workers are and whether or not you want to work for them---period.

Being creative and turning the lead to you being the recruiter and are seeking help. What sort of person would you hire? What sort of hours can you work; some folks are nocturnal and enjoy working night shifts; stockers overnight and places that need fast-paced females that work in "Dunkin Donuts" shops all over the nation. Some of those places allow people (customers) to tip their workers.

Look at the areas of business you might be interested in and research what their job description is like to see if you fit their profile. If you have any computer skills---that is great--build on that. I know people who make a good cash living just by walking people's animals or house sit for someone who wants an honest, trustworthy person to water their plants and not to rip them off.

There are countless ways to earn money today; but, it helps if you look good because many employers go by appearances. So, find out what industry you want to try to get into; find out where there is a need (i.e. working with children and females or males) you can check out the job ads on Indeed dot com in your region.

Some folks decide to move in the Spring and Summer and try a new area. Research those places before you jump in. We all have only one life to live---we won't be coming back; although many folks actually believe in reincarnation; I do not!

God has put everything we will ever need to have a better life inside us. If you believe you have value; it will show by the way you walk; talk and look.

Spring is almost here---I believe God is going to work many miracles for people who have failed countless times over; people who have just "given up" and also He is the master of opening doors no one can open; and He can surely close all those doors that no one else can close!

I think you came to the right site Shirley, you will receive a lot of positive comments here; this is why I like reading and commenting. We are here to uplift our human race; let all else be left up to almighty God! You have lots of VALUE!

My question to you and another lady that posted the same, why do you stay out of the job market more than 6 months? You loose your marketable skills regardless what profession you are in.You are going to have to learn new skills plus this employment situation is a nightmare you have to compete with 2 set of people the young who hold Bachelors and MBA and the experienced ones who hold the same. degrees. I suggest you find help plus the fact Michigan has tons of problems. I have a friend who lives in Detroit who use to work at Cobalt Hall for 21 years finally had to move to Colorado to work. Maybe you should move.
