Job hunting support

I have felt I need to apply for a (new) job for a long time now but haven't done much about it. I thought I'll start this thread to help me with accountability.

Since dc (primary age) I have had a 'hobby' business, selling handmade stuff on Etsy. I have good months but overall don't make enough money. Nobody around me counts what I do as working either.
Just overhead my dad asking my husband if I'm going to start working soon!

I'm already too tired and overworked with what I do. I love making and the creative element but it is very tiring, very time consuming. I don't seem to have the energy to look through job ads, let alone apply.

Hopefully, tomorrow morning I can start with going over my CV.

If anyone is similar or able to offer support please join me.

Well done you for realising that the energy you’re putting into this isn’t making you money and it’s time to move on. Start with your CV, look on Linked In, get people to help you. Good luck

Hi,
I wanted to wish you luck. Look on Indeed, Linked In, Facebook groups. Think about what your skills are and what you’d like to do. Write a CV and a covering letter that you can easily adapt for different jobs. 😊
