Goal is to stay employed for as long as possible up to baby being born - and then will review after. Not worried about the maternity pay at the moment, just need a bit of extra breathing time as it were.
Have quite an ecclectic mix of skills.
Most of my career has either been in Quality Assurance, or as a PA.
Am also certified PRINCE 2 Project Management, although it has been difficult (nay - impossible) to get a job doing this since doing the qualification. (Usual conundrum - people want bods for jobs WITH experience rather than to get experience...)
Latest job was for a private medical company running a Mobile Phlebotomy Service. Although that wasn't the job I was originally employed to do... Managing staff from afar (@ 180 miles away), and also keeping all stakeholders and partners happy, for a service that turned over around £1.5m/year. (Mind you - could well 'tweak' this last role into project work on CV!)
I do bits of other things outside of the 9-5 job also, but they don't seem to be adding up to enough (at the moment) to replace the 9-5..... (A couple of music lessons, hypnotherapy sessions, some website setup/design, and also reiki (hence the username). Have been pushing these more since the new year and being unhappy @ work, but still not really increasing yet. (Not complaining - am grateful they are ticking over as they are!)
Just feeling a bit lost and a lot let down at the mo. (Let down by myself which is yeah.... anyway)
Just seems easier to head back to 'employed-dom' for a few months. Any advice would be grand, even just to know that there is hope for anyone employing someone who is expecting a little bundle of joy. :)
Had thought of temporary work, and was going to hit the agencies with tarted up CV come Monday am.
