No jobs where I'm from...

I feel rather sad knowing that where I'm from, theres little to no job at all and thanks to that, I have to enroll the army in order to sustain my daughter. Nobody should feel obliged to do what I must...

Small Country Town Wife & Mother in Need of Remote Employment

Hello everyone! My name is Mari Elizabeth Walsh and I am frustrated. I am very willing to get to work. However, I live in a very rural area in Southeastern Arkansas and there is literally nothing around that would hire someone with my skills. I have five years of in the office experience with medical and psychiatric transcription. I design documents, spreadsheets, business cards, logos, etc. all using my circa 2006 laptop and Microsoft Office or Adobe. I am interested in virtual assisting, data entry, spreadsheet work, proofreading, actually anything at this moment. I am so frustrated and let down right now. I tried Freelancer and after all the effort I put into it, they wanted $5 per exam to help boost my chances of being hired. Any advice on what to do and where to look for work like I described? Thank you, in advance, for your time and help.

Frustrated

I'm an IT professional by trade. I left my last job due to a military move. I couldn't find work in the new location because I didn't fit the demographic (not a local, and too qualified). I decided I'd be a stay at home mom and focus on my college studies instead. Three years later, we are back in the US, and I'm having a really hard time finding employment. I've applied to lots of opportunities, even entry level ones - and no luck so far. It makes me wonder if there are discrepancies in my background check (which would surprise me), or previous employers are giving poor reviews (I doubt it because I left on good terms).. is it something I'm doing wrong? Or did I shoot myself in the foot three years ago when I decided to care for my kids instead of work? I don't know.
