Frustrated at work

[petmoosie]

The last time I worked for my employer, the Princeton Review, was Oct. 30th. I just asked for classes starting into March. I got none of them. So I am unlikely to be working until the beginning of April (unless something pulls through on the MCAT side, and I haven't worked on the MCAT side since July 30th). Sigh.

So, aside from an all-hands meeting in January, I've got nothing cooking over there. I should use this time to work on my Spanish hard. It's fairly even with my Russian right now, maybe a fraction better.

Just a Note

DH remarked that he knew of at least 4 women in the same situation. Bright, college educated with at least a BA if not a MS or PhD. That took time off from their career path to raise their kids and are now looking to get back into the career world. Some of us, like me, took part time non-career jobs. All of us are having a hard time finding an employer that will take us with all of our experience but lack of up-to-date job skills and believe us when we say that we don't expect to be in the same level we left behind, jut back on the ladder.

He thinks that this would be a great opportunity for someone. I agree, all the stay-at-home no longer moms would make the best employees -- loyal, hard working, flexible, you name it. So why doesn't a company out there recruit us.

Yes, still looking and the new year doesn't look all that great on the job prospect. I really need to start thinking REALLY outside the box.
