dd is 6 and have I have been a SAHM since giong on maternity leave.
A job has come up at a friend's company working 4-6 days a month from home. It's in an industry that I worked in for over 5 years prior to having dd but the job is in an area that I have some but not extensive experience in, although apparently the person who did the job before didn't have any experience either but had worked in X field "which helped", I haven't worked in "X field" but have worked in "Y field" which would be helpful (sorry to be cryptic don't want to out myself). I think I could do the job - with initial guidance on the newer stuff haven't been out of the world of work for 6 years. The money is great. I think this job would be the first step to a very slow journey (my choice) back to full time re employment when dd is at senior school. The only obstacle is what do I do in the school holidays particularly the summer ones? I don't know yet whether I could do the work in the evenings/weekends during this period as friend just wants to know if she should put my name forward and I don't want to waste their time. I wouldn't consider getting a nanny/childminder for 1 day a week and don't really have family who would help out.
My initial reaction to the job was wow great money, I could do that, it'd be a great first step and would fit in with dd ... and then I thought OH SCHOOL HOLIDAYS : 0 (
WWYD - should I just put my name forward and see how it goes or is it a waste of time from the off?
TIA
