Firstly I’ve posted before under a different name so this might be familiar for some.
Due to circumstances, young family, husband working away for continuous lengths of time, moving every few years and no family around us I haven’t worked since my eldest DC was born. (an amount of time I’m ashamed to admit) We now have 3 DC all in full time education and I’m desperate to find a working from home job but just don’t know where to start.
I’m not fussy or picky and will do absolutely anything but every site, job I look at needs experience or references which I’m struggling to find due to it being so long since last worked, one workplace now a completely different building and not convinced my other old manager is actually alive!! (could however find countless character referees)
I didn’t work in an office based job before but it did have admin duties within and have basic but ok IT skills, an excellent telephone manner and good written English. I know my way around most social media platforms quite well and have dabbled in a bit of amateur photography. I would say on whole I’m a good communicator.
What can I do, how do I get started?! My dream would be to do some photography/writing for blogs, (is it ghost writing?!) or online counselling but at the moment I’d settle for an over night call centre to just bring in some extra pennies.
Has anyone been in a similar situation or can give me some good advice, I’d be absolutely delighted with any help.
