Balancing work and kids

[130mummy2]

I went back to work after my LO turned 2, full time shifts and was promised support by LO dad.
Since then he withdrew support and i have to leave but I am still want to work and be able to only rely on childcare for kids... But i cant find a job to work around this.
I'm getting very low at not being able to provide for myself and the plan that was mad for 2yr has been torn up and im stuck with losing so much because of his selfishness.
Ive had interviews and am extremely competent but keep getting told i'm just beaten to the job as other have more yrs experience, and i get it as i've been off for two yrs but im still a hardworker and its not like being a sahm is easy.
I just want a break any ideas how i can make myself a good option to employers.
Sucks that i want to go back to work after doing so much in my career before my break to raise my kids but cant get anywhere.
Any advise or just support would be great

It sucks, how long have you been looking? All I can say is keep trying, perhaps junior positions have better chance? That's what I did, not as senior now, massive pay cut but fit around my family.

From an employer's perspective, if they have a more experienced candidate with recent experience, it is not unreasonable for them to choose that candidate over you. Therefore, it get back into the groove of work, you have to take role that is less attractive to those candidates for some reason, i.e. it is maternity cover/contract role or very junior or badly paid. If you want a part time permanent role off the bat, expect the competition to be very fierce and the discount to be very deep over and above the pro rata reduction.

Even if some employers are prepared to consider part time, they may still wish to hire a full time employee and will only offer part time if it is a candidate they really like or they are not getting any interest otherwise. Can you take a ft role and try to work yourself pt from there?
