What Type of Information Does Your Blog Provide

What is it like to be a middle-aged, former stay-at-home Mom trying to find a job? Pretty hopeless.

What Makes Your Blog Unique?

I hate to admit this, but I’ve been job hunting for 3 years. More or less. On and off. I was job hunting before everyone else was. What’s wrong with me you must be wondering? I’m well-educated, well-spoken, good-looking so I’ve heard. But I took time off to raise a family and explore new interests. Try on other professions. 20 years worth. But now I need a damn job. Good effing luck. I’m both over-qualified and under-qualified for every job I apply for. And then there is this little problem of age. I’m mid-40′s (ok, late 40′s, whatever). Unemployable probably, but I haven’t given up the fight, jaded as I am.

Advice

  • Pray. Eat. Pray some more. Then send out some resumes. Wallow in depression. Pick yourself up off the floor and repeat.
