AIBU to think that I've arsed everything up? I've been part time freelancing for the past 10 years. Since I had my children.
Before that I had a variety of crappy jobs.
Now...I need to earn more money for various reasons and I want a part time job. Just something simple in a shop or cafe...but my CV!
All the managers at the places I worked 10 plus years ago have moved on...I look online at the place's websites and the staff is all different!
How on earth do I put "contact name and number" into application forms when they've fallen off the face of the earth and I can't discover where they are despite Googling!
If I used my freelance CV it wouldn't be relevant to the sort of positions I'm applying for.
I don't think the average cafe owner will care that I wrote the content for X website or had a short story published in X magazine will they?
I don't seem to be qualified for content writing positions in actual offices because I'm not a trained journalist and don't know all the corporate language they use or any of the computer programmes!
Help!
I suggested to DH that I start my own local cleaning business and he said "But you're shit at cleaning!"
Which is kind of true but not really. I think he just doesn't want me to be a cleaner. Yet he is just as keen as I am that I find a job!
We live in a semi rural area in Australia...I have managed to secure one social media management position which I do from home but it's only one day a week and I want to actually get out of the house.
My next plan is to casually ask in local cafes and shops...any advice would be very gratefully received.
