Job Search

I'm looking for a job. This will be my first paying job since my late teens. I have spent my entire life rendering myself useless to the majority of the powers that hire. I am a mother and as such I have worked tirelessly and around the clock. I have become an expert in everything from "My Pretty Ponies" to Compliment Immune Deficiencies. (My youngest has a Compliment ID)

However hard I have worked learning to communicate with insurance agencies, school officials, directing my children and managing my household. I still appear to the work force to have done absolutely done nothing. When at the job center, I was advised that I could put maid as a possible job skill. Wow! How demoralizing. Though many claim to have great respect for at home mothers does this translate into the ability to be hired? I think maybe not.

So I continue to submit applications knowing that one-day I will get hired and when that happens, watch out world, a mother is in the building.
