Hi,
I have been trying to go back to work for about a year now.
Been SAHM for 10 years. Am 46 now.
Have been told by all the agencies, it's a bit too late for me to go back into previous line of work as so out of date now. They won't put me forward as a candidate, so I have to go it alone.
Can't retrain as stoney broke, no govt fund available to help with college fees etc.
Was told today by a company that my CV was boring; just a list of qualifications, and I had no experience for so long they would never consider me.
I have tried going into shops with ads in the window. No joy, was even told by one that I was too old, they were looking for a student. (yes I know they can't say that but the reality is different).
Applied for cleaning jobs, no replies at all. Applied to volunteering coordinators for county but there is no reply there either.
No supermarkets are taking on (only 2 near here anyway and they are laying off).
What do other Mums do?
What do people put on their CV's these days.
I am obviously out of touch
