Need some advice,currently in a state of analysis-paralysis :)
I am 36, children 8 and 6 1/2 and considering going back to work after being sahm for 4 years and then seting up and managing my own business (catering) for almost 3 1/2 years. I am now selling my business and wanting to go back to my previous job. I have few issues ...
1.Would anyone want to employ me after I have run my own business which has proven a great success but I feel its not for me anymore and want to move on (or rather go back)
- Having run a business that has nothing to do with my previous job coupled with being away for so many years I am not sure how to approach employers.
3.My career before children was short 5 years, but worked in a very niche market as project manager and not many jobs come up in my area of interest and experience.
Even when they do, I am sure there are 'few' other people who have more recent experience.
I was considering approaching few well known companies and asking to maybe do work experience for 6 months or so and then look for work while I am at least doing similar work. Is this crazy??? I am not a student :)Would it sound desperate??? What do I say?
Any thoughts, anyone been thinking / done something similar?
THANK YOU
