I'm looking for some help for DH.
He has been a SAHD since 2014 during which time he completed a BA and MA in English and creative writing. Before this he wasn't very career driven; he was a waiter for years but does not want to go to back to this. His ideal job would be a writer and he has a draft of a novel but this will take some time to redraft/perfect and he is aware that this is a very competitive field to go into.
I work f/t and we have also been using savings but our finances are at the stage where we need him to be earning money fairly soon. He has some anxiety about returning to the workplace after such a long time out of it. He is also somewhat disheartened about having to settle for any job after working so hard for his qualifications.
He would like to WFH if possible (ideally not call-centre type work). He has excellent organisation, project management, research, listening and communication skills but would not be able to prove these in work based examples on a CV. Are there any jobs out there where he would be able to use these skills?
I was wondering if anyone has been in this position and how you made that first step back into work. What sort of job were you able to get and where has it led you?
Thanks in advance.
