So the time has come for me to re-enter the work force and what a hell of a ride it has been trying to get back in. A trip to a recruitment place was meet with "the job market is at a bit of a decline but we can see what we can do" Yep that's looking good for them helping me.................................. NOT.
So I finally got a line on a job from a family member and I got the job(go me and thank you family member) it's only casual but it's baby steps to new skills that will make me more employable in the near future. I am not working because I have to or we are hard up for cash I am working for my own piece of mind. I am going stir crazy at home all the time alone with nothing but unrelenting housework to do.
12 years out of the work force being a stay at home parent reduced all my skills I had before I had children to naught it wasn't worth anything any more. Time change in 12 years. I don't regret staying home with my kids at all but maybe I should have studied while I was home so when the time came I had at least some sort of qualification behind me.
The first night of my job was awesome, being out, not being responsible for small people, talking to other adults was FANTASTIC. It was great for my self esteem and self worth. This job is all about making me feel better and you know what two shifts in and it has helped me so much already.
