I have mostly been a sahm for 12 years. For the past 14 months I have been unsuccessfully looking for a job - mostly admin jobs as my previous work was quite specialised and is thin on the ground after the recession. In my 12 years "off" I have done voluntary work, admin and sales work for my families business and have done several courses (most recently a Microsoft Office one). I think my CV doesn't look too dusty, the one time I got feedback from a rejection they said I'd just been pipped to the post by someone with more specific experience. I have just applied for the exact job I did Before Children and if I don't even get to interview stage on this one I will feel like giving up completely (though not really an option of course). In my lower moments I feel a bit like staying at home was a massive mistake (though my dc would disagree thank goodness). Can anyone throw a ray of light over here and tell me a success story of Work After a Long Break???
