Working mums?

Hi all

I started a thread a while back about this, but i tried to reply to see if anyone else ad any ideas but its been closed so i thought id start a new thread

Anyone got any ideas where i could work, im in the same position as before. OH works 8am-4.30pm, so ill need a job between 5pm and 11pm. Or if anyone works from home, or knows anywhere that employ people to work from home (that isnt a scam) id like to hear about that too

Thanks guys

Not always Sara as whoever you work for will give you full training in whatever field it is (eg bank or maybe mobile phone company). I was going to work for Barclays call centre, they gave me a computer test when i went for the interview, then when i started they gave full training on their computer system and products etc (i didnt stay though as got a job elsewhere). Anyway your introduction to computers could come in handy, as everywhere uses computers now.

Why dont you do an evening class or study at home for one of those CLAIT qualifications, you would learn all the microsoft office stuff... word. excel etc. That would come in very useful when looking for a job, i know the college up here does open learning.. which is where you can go in at a time to suit yourself or do it at home even.

I work from home but have you tried local pubs in the area, they would more than likely have shifts that suited you

Tell me about it

I need to find hours around OH, that way i dont need to have a stranger look after my boys and someone is at home all day with Chance

But trying to find something in the evenings round here is ridiculous

I'm not sure really, they normally are situated on business park type places. I dont know you area of the country very well, if you live near a largeish town the jobcentre there may be able to tell you
