I read a very interesting post this morning...Parents Role in the Job Search

DeSoto Times-Tribune - Angela Copeland video version of the article. Parents should have a very small part of their adult child's job search. I question this issue: Should parents have a very small part in their adult child’s job search? Or, should the parents be invisible? Read article... ....→I want to hear what you think of this article

Career of a lifetime

God is great! I landed my dream job after months of not working and being a single mom trying to support my children! My prayers have been answered and I can now support myself And my children without any help from family or government! It is truly in His time.

So I live in the Tampa area and work at a place that is open 24/7 and I’m not happy where I am we work 4 10 hr days and that’s a plus but I just don’t feel like I’m the right fit for this job. I want a Monday through Friday job not worried about the hours just want weekends to spend with my kids. I have a degree and already 20k in debt with school.

Seeking Work from Home

I am 35 years old, and recently had a baby. My previous job does not have great work/life balance, and would have me out the house 24/7, on call. I have a master's degree from OSU and have great employment history. I all currently on FMLA while I care for my son, and scheduled to return to work soon. I am trying to find either a work from home job, or a job where I can bring my son with me.

I have a long professional career, I am efficient in all office type work, great with Microsoft Office. My work experience includes, but is not limited to: recruitment, life skills coaching, interviewing and assessment skills, customer service, supervisory skills, money handling, bartending and customer service. I am a great worker and can provide references.

I am open to almost any kind of work, flexibility is more important. I am very adaptable and catch on quickly to new skills. I plan on making this my permanent job, and do not wish to return to my previous work.

I will provide resume on request Please any help

Frustrated

I'm 24 years old with a one year old son. His father and I are still together, but it is so hard for me to find a job. Montgomery sucks. There are so many jobs that I know I could be great at, but they want you to have so many years experience and I don't have it. Also, I prefer evenings due to the fact that my boyfriend works 4 a.m. until about 2 in the evening and my only other babysitter lives an hour and a half away. I'm so over working fast food. I don't know what to do anymore.

Help!!!!

I have been a stay at home mother and wife. I haven't worked in 10 yrs. Now I find myself at the beginning of a divorce and need to find a job. I have 2 school age children and need to be home for them when they get out of school. I would love a job that you can do from home. I need help! I have no resume. If they could just look at all the things I've done for my family I would be qualified for a good job. Alas they dont do that so I'm stuck. Please help!?!?!?
