First of all, I just want to emphasize that ‘Motherhood’ and being a full time mom is a “career” in itself.
Home-based job or online earning opportunities are the latest career options that seem to be growing everyday. Exploring the internet has open my eyes and mind into establishing a career that is most suitable for me being a full time housewife and mother to two young kids. But, is online career really possible? How do you define career may also differ from other person’s perspective but it’s your goal and plans that matter most.
As I have spent more than a decade of my student life working to improve my writing skills and broaden exposure on various issues and subjects, I have grown to accept that I am destined to be a writer. My professional experience as researcher, para-legal, teacher, personnel manager, corporate secretary and legal adviser are all contributory to what I can say I have molded myself into as a freelance writer. Though I would not remove from my mind that I have a dream of publishing a book in the future, I have learned to settle myself for the meantime on online money making opportunities by simply using the skills and knowledge that I have. Being a full time mom to two young kids and a wife to a husband whose health condition demands most of my time, I can only see myself now working on a home-based job or business.
So, the question is, ‘Do I have a career now?’ My answer is a simple ‘Yes’. Although I don’t earn thousands of dollars in a month, I am in a serious mode of improving myself and aiming to land in a work where I can apply all that I know and have as to talents and skills. The world-wide internet hype has given lots of people, especially writers like me, to earn while at home. There’s no need to get out of the house. All I need to do is wake up, have a cup of coffee, sit in front of my computer and write an article first thing in the morning. I also do not want to limit myself to writing online but I am also determined to finish a course online that will give me a broader options when it comes to income and earning opportunities that are home-based.
Work opportunities online is limitless. As a matter of fact, I am having a hard time finding time to finish all the writing assignments that are available for me to do. I thought that if this work will be done full time by someone who is single and have no kids to look after to, this could be a dream job.
Searching for a job during these times is very stressful indeed. As a recruitment manager and I contribute to a many job websites out there. From my expereince the individuals who end up getting the jobs are very confident in their minds. They probably won’t know the answer to every question you ask but they sure know how to answer. Also if your applying for a niche company go and do some research about it first and see how you can adapt yourself to it. Using that knowledge the interview process becomes much easier. Just be confident and keep trying, eventually you will find a job.
Just thought I’de give my 2 cents. Brilliant article mate.
