My biggest concern is all the jobs that require letters of recommendation from other people. Who would write my letters? My kids? The women in my carpool? My boss from 10 years ago? It makes me slightly ill just to contemplate it all.<br /><br />I sure hope someone wises up and hires you!Patty O.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15598358666714482323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14461919.post-57093686386091998882010-09-14T21:54:32.849-04:002010-09-14T21:54:32.849-04:00Personally, I wouldn't feel right leaving out ...Personally, I wouldn't feel right leaving out that hard-earned degree. I can tell you that a lot of companies even want their phone reps to have at least a Bachelor's.<br /><br />I'd say if you aren't in financial need of the job, try to find one that fits *you* better (so you can really be happy and not just "occupied"). If it is a case of financial need, then I'd say take the best you can find right now whilst looking for something better. <br /><br />Personally, I don't understand why/how the Mommy Track is perceived as so horrible... it's not like you're trying to get a high-power job at a mega-corp in NYC. Most of the people who do the hiring have families of their own and understand (one would think) that family is the priority. You still have the qualifications, and you can still do the job. (Makes me wonder if people think that being a mom somehow diminishes your degree, intelligence and capabilities.) That being said, my disclaimer is that I'm by no means an expert in this hiring thing (as you know). Just voicing my meager opinion.<br /><br />Beside, managing a family is no small feat in itself. It develops desirable skills too. They just aren't officially documented.<br /><br />Breathe. Just breathe. It will be ok. :-)prismhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10520486331040422570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14461919.post-77300032995115295732010-09-11T15:32:06.550-04:002010-09-11T15:32:06.550-04:00What about subing?What about subing?The Youngblood Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09021998515902628697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14461919.post-33544539003559321822010-09-11T08:48:54.708-04:002010-09-11T08:48:54.708-04:00If you want the job, leave it out.

I thought I reserved it for my children when they are in crazy mode!<br /><br />What about volunteering at an interesting organization or a library? Maybe it would get a foot in the door?Denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07698512108292469182noreply@blogger.com
