The gap in my work history?

The reason for the long gap is because While I was working, my son's father was no longer able to watch him while I was at work. I was already a young single mother.. My oldest is Autistic so I had to become a stay at home mother also.

Looking for work

I am a full time student and a fulltime mom of 3. My 7 year old plays every sport possible and my other 2 are being potty trained. My hands are full. I went school for an AA Business Mgmt and an AA Office Admin. and Clerical. I minored in Photography. I am currently entering my second year for a BA in Human Services and a Masters in Psych. with a Minor in Bible. With that being said. My finances are in ruins. My loans are piling up and I currently am not employed so i have no income. I am struggling to find work or an employer who can truly work with me and my children and our schedules. I cant work full time as theres obviously not enough time in the day to work full time. But i need to pay my bills. I have over a decade experience in construction/Landscaping. How do i go about getting my name out there and looking for random weekly or monthly work and clientele. For instance REgular lawn maintenance and gardening. Or a remodel job for someones bathroom.I will even do cleaning of houses and rearranging furniture updating the landscape. Anything and everything possible to be able to get the random odds and ends one time or every so often jobs that will help me catch up and take care of my kids. Does anyone have any advice?

Job

I'm a 31 year old who's just trying to help her family make end meet. I am a hard worker. Why can't I find a job I don't do drugs I'm on time or early. Maybe it because I haven't worked in 9 years. Not since I had my daughter. But now she getting to the age this momma wants to work again. I hope this make sense. Because I could use so advise what I'm doing wrong

Job Search

This job search is killing me! Lol. I have been a stay at home mom for a long time now but my children are old enough for me to return to work. I have done medical equipment sales in the past, marketing, and public relations by educating the community, doctors, their staff and hospitals about whatever company I worked for and I loved it. Sales and marketing is my first love in the job industry but its so hard to get back in the game so to speak because I have lost all of my professional connections. I have an Associates Degree of Science in Business Management and TONS of sales and marketing experience. My problem is my resume. I cannot remember exact dates of employment and most of the people I worked with and for are gone from the companies from which I worked. Im not sure what to put on my resume as to employment gaps when I decided to stay at home and raise my kids. Any suggestions?

Don't give up

Being a single mom of three it's almost impossible to go back to work. But I'm not giving up

Finding the right job can be such a process

I am a new mom so I prefer to work days only and that seems to be my main issue in my job search, my availability

New Girl

I just started at Jack in the box after 8 months of searching for work... It was very hard, but now I feel so blessed, I'll do anything to keep it... Its always hard breaking the ice and being the new girl, but I think I'm winning their trust and respect slowly... I see it this way, its their kitchen, let me be their huckleberry and help them core up their relationships, and maneuver me in where they need me, I just need to be responsive.... And do whatever I can for them... It helps them know they can depend on me in any station.... I am proud of my daughter for getting a job at taco bell.... Her grades need improvement, but she will motivate where she can, I'm sure of it... Its hard to let go, and let God, in areas where there really isn't anything you can do, bit hell let you know when to run.... Good luck to all those single Mom's out there!!!
