I'm returning to work after maternity, finished a contract before going on leave so I need to pick up some new work or find a new job. I've got 15 years experience, worked with big name brands, worked to leadership level. And yet in response to 40 job applications made so far, and a ton of outreach to contacts over the last 6 weeks, it's been tumbleweed. I know the job market is quiet and I can afford to keep looking for a maximum of 6 months but... Seriously?!
How do I keep my head up during this time? Baby starts childcare in mid May so I'll have a bit more time to throw at it then.
Anyone got any more tips? Really miss using my brain and having money.
