I've been freelancing as a copywriter and social media manager since my oldest DD was born 12 years ago and now both DC are older, I want a job...I've had enough of finding work chasing money and working on my own at home.
It was good for a while...fitted in with having small children etc but now I want to be out in the world again!
I've applied for everything from shelf stacker to social media manager and not had ONE INTERVIEW! Not ONE!
My CV is good! I've worked for huge organisations...world renowned ones! I'm not blowing my own trumpet here but my little business garnered commissions from really well-known companies and now I can't even get a job at a fucking supermarket OR a small events company OR a large museum!
What do I do? I've actually got two CVs...one with my writing and social media stuff and one with the more mundane stuff I did before I had children.
I've just had it! Today (I'm in Oz) I've had two knockbacks from local cafes (I promise I look nice and presentable) and have had to start looking into my freelance stuff again. I'd stopped doing it in the mistaken belief that I could easily find a job but now DH is naturally worried and so I'm having to scrabble about for freelance work again.
:( I just want to get out of the house!
