Currently I'm unemployed but have never worked fulltime except at home as a homemaker and mom.
Now I'm 50 and I'm not sure what I want to be when I grow up! ;)
I'm a grandma -- especially three days a week when we keep our 3 1/2 yr. old grandson. But before the year is out I'll be looking for a job.
There's Coldwater Creek . . . but I have very little retail sales experience. I could take my big Yamaha keyboard on the road and earn a few bucks, maybe. (Weddings, funerals, etc.) What I really should do is buckle down and write the great American novel. Yeah, that's the ticket!
Anyway, that's where I am. Praying for direction and clarity. And if you're in the DFW area and know of a possible job for me, let me know. I do have eight years' experience in a church office (part time). I enjoy anything that involves communications (basic html, e-mail, Internet research, some photo and video, journalism . . .) I'm good at proof-reading, keyboarding, letter writing, and bouncing ideas off of!
Jill, Along with work, home, and scouting, I also am a student. In one of my classes we were asked what it was we wanted to be. I mentioned that I did not know what I wanted to be when I grow up. To be honest it is more fun acting as a "Big Kid" thanks to scouting, and of course Grandchildren You have lots of experience and that is a plus. With the way the economy is...just take your time, enjoy the grandson, and wait, the "cool" job will come along.
