Good afternoon.


I left my previous job when my second one was 10 months old. Now that he is big enough, I have decided to get back to work, but unfortunately I can't find anything. I worked as an office clerk and Marketing Assistant for the past 5 years (before being unemployed). I have been looking for 6 months and nothing has come yet. I am getting desperate especially because I am no longer entitled to job seeker's allowance ( it was not a lot but at least it helped me). Honestly, I am getting lost now. I am willing to do any kind of Jobs, like in customer service, retail or catering. I don't know what to do. By the way , I am a native French speaker. Could you please give me any advices on how to increase my chances to find something. Thank you

Hello,


Have you heard of this website:


www.womenlikeus.org.uk


They have a job board advertising part time/ flexible jobs and are specifically geared towards women returning to work.


It's really tough at the moment.... sending you lots of good luck with your job search!

Hiya,

i've been told about this event - not been before, but it's free, so maybe worth a try? http://www.workingmumslive.co.uk/ (hope the link works).I might be going, just to check it out....

The organisers - workingmum.co.uk have jobs advertised online too - again, i have not tried it, but looks good.

Wishing you best of luck!

    • Is he local to South London? My father made his solicitor the executive. I, for many years had Lasting Power of Attorney to deal with all his finances including liaison with his bank and payment of his care home fees. I was also responsible for the sale of his home to release funds for care home fees. When he died, I notified the solicitor, obtained the death certificate and organized the funeral, cleared his care home of his possessions . Myself and my cousin were beneficiaries but my father had left a small sum of money to a man in the Midlands whose name was unknown to all of us including my step mother. It  took around 9 months for solicitor to establish that this gentleman had been deceased for a number of years . This obviously put additional charges onto the fees.
    • He's probably in his 70s, just doing a few more bits of work for his clients, many now deceased (ie executing their wills) who will be in their 90s. Everyone else who is younger than 90 will do their research and not use him,
    • I suppose we are lucky that our daughters both drive so do not have alcohol when they are with us.  I start my Christmas food shopping in October, when prices are generally lower. Turkey Crown from Iceland, gammon from Sainsbury's, get put into freezer as do any other bits and pieces i.e. prawns/seafood. Fruit and veg from Aldi nearer the time,. Having 3 vegetarians plus a gluten intolerant, I make much of the other food stuff including desserts. Aldi's version of Baileys is half the price, plus beers and ciders are good value. Neither of us are wine drinkers We generally have fish or vegetarian based food from Marks plus a dessert, I suppose I have always been a careful shopper - I was a single parent for many years where all my wages went to paying the mortgage leaving around £10 a week for food and other bills. My work colleagues used to mock me when I said that a chicken would last us all the week ending up boiling up bones to make a soup base. Old habits die hard even when you have a bit more in your pocket to spend.
