Right, I have hardly a CV to speak of and have had mainly poxy jobs in retail, catering, admin pre dc. I missed a few good opportunities in the past to improve my career/earning prospects but obviously would not change that for the world now that I have two beautiful dc. I do have one good job reference, all other firms I've worked for went under or management changed over. I have been told by several colleagues and employers that I have a very good work ethic.
I'm educated up to A levels and worked from leaving school til 5 years ago just before I fell pregnant with dc1. (I'm 30) I tried to get a job at 10 weeks preg, but no one would have me although I did get job interviews and a job offer (which was retracted when I revealed my pregnancy!)
I want to earn BIG, I want better for myself, my children, our futures. I don't want to have to rely on tax credits or dh's wage. I want to be self sufficient. I'm prepared to work my butt off and now realise that if you want to be a success in life, you need to be a risk taker and go doer. I think I have a lot of potential to succeed.
I've thought of a couple of things I could do that relate to my talents and interests. I feel that would be a good starting point for me, but need to study the market in more detail to see if there is a niche for it/them. I am also doing a short course next your which will bridge me over access courses/further studies I wish to do at the OU/regional college.
How would you best advise me to improve my CV, juggle childcare costs and studying, seek employment/start up a business, etc? Where do I start? Am really needing an extra confidence boost! I don't want to be a sahm or a till operator for the rest of my days. I'm more than prepared to fail A LOT before I succeed. Apologies for the long essay.
Thanks for reading.
