[QUOTE="witzend, post: 544194, member: 99"] Lisa, here are a couple of things that you can do to help out with your job search: 1) Join Linked-In and get friends/teachers from school and friends in your field to link to you; 2) Be sure that your FB page is set [I]only to friends[/I]. You never know what someone who is hiring might feel about your personal opinions and it's none of their business anyway; 3) List your resume with a job placement agency. You'll get hundreds of emails from people who want to place you. It may be for a temp job (husband's job that we moved for is temp, but the salary is 50% higher than he was getting, and we still get insurance) but they often eventually hire to full-time/permanent. 4) Don't worry about blank spots on your resume. Your children are now grown. They weren't years before, and people understand that. You don't have to tell them why you had to leave any job, you just say "My kids were at an age that they needed me at home then and I was lucky enough to be there for them. I'm glad that I'm at a time in my life where I come first now and am able to have the career that I want." [/QUOTE]
