Financial Tip for Divorced Families
November 12, 2008
If as the parent, you’ve been laid off, you’ve likely already started looking for new work; consider part time or project work as well as full time. Of course, it’s easier said than done, but there is no alternative but to plow ahead. If you have a skill, time or desire, get plugged in now with others who can benefit from your services while you continue to upgrade or even change your skills. For example, many local nonprofits or community colleges offer a large array of programs. These may range from teaching computer skills to retirees to offering reentry skills for homemakers. Daunting tasks face out of work former executives: don’t’ neglect networking and volunteer projects to augment your search for full time work.
There is tremendous need here and globally for helping hands, and many job openings remain unfilled, so your determination to become gainfully (re-)employed may be helped by your willingness to reach outside of your traditional boundaries of comfort
