Did anyone change careers returning to work?

Hi all,

Posted in chat for traffic...

I'm a single mum to an 8.5 month old baby. My maternity leave ends in September but I know I cannot return to my old job. It would not be feasible in my position. I'm feeling anxious about changing jobs because I've been in the same one for over half a decade and got quite settled there.

My question is did anyone in my position change jobs and how easy was it? I don't mean in terms of settling in, more the logistics of it. I'll need to find childcare before I have a job obviously but I have no idea what hours i'll need or how long it will take me to successfully find one. How did you deal with interviews? My XP works shifts and I dont have any family nearby who could babysit while I go to interviews, so I would have to hope to get lucky.

I've already started looking at jobs but the vast majority look unsuitable. Trying to stay positiveSad

Any advice?

If you like children and babies nurseries are crying out for staff. You could get a big discount on childcare as well. Depends if you'd like it though!
