Just had a stint as a SAHM and now returning to work. In my field I am very experienced, and have niche qualifications (also have very relevant specific experience for certain roles)
I looked at both jobs in and out of what I used to do ( a part time local job in and office would have been fine but accepting low pay seemed really hard to accept for employers)
What struck me the most is people not even bothering to read CVs properly, having to arrange childcare for interviews, then having to point out I'd specified part time or even that they were interviewing for the wrong role! ( this wasn't why I've written this post)
My main issue is recruitment agency's, a few have posted positions really relevant to my experience, I've applied, heard nothing. I always follow up even when it says not to. The adverts close then weeks later you get a email asking you about something in another field unrelated.
This week I've come to the conclusion these jobs don't exist, am I right? I get my hopes up as they are what I'm looking for! Is it common for them to post non existent positions?
