Wow, what an awesome gift to receive at just the right moment - doesn't God work all things together for good? I find it interesting that you said that as soon as you reworked your approach, the door opened. I believe that is what happens when we are obedient and take the steps to do something that shakes our "same old" mindset! This is the kind of encouragement women need to hear and read who are indeed looking to find their next opportunity! Have a blessed and Winning Day! Monika Congratulations Anita!

I reworked my approach and as soon as I did a friend tipped me off on a job, they're doing reference and background checks as well speak so hopefully will be starting the job within the next 2 weeks. Sincere thanks again for the inspiration you shared here!!! With much love and blessings to all. Anita Success ladies!

I left my career 12 years ago to raise my children and support my husband. With my oldest preparing to start college, I began putting together a resume... mostly blank at first. Some linkedin contacts really set me straight. They encouraged me to treat my volunteer work no different than a paid job. I listed my fundraising experience, my leadership abilities, and my interpersonal skills (non-profits can attract some real stinkers). I realized I had taught, managed, organized, budgeted... The best question anyone asked me though, was "how are you uniquely qualified and what can you do with it?" My new business (wingspouse.com) was born. So how are you uniquely qualified?

And very timely advice for me! Nearly 7 years out of the workforce after a late start with children I now find myself in the position of no income (husband left after 18 years) and in desperate need of a job. I used to work at executive management level but am now being told I've been "out of the workforce for too long, go a bit junior to get your hand back in". I apply for less senior positions and I'm told "overqualified and too expensive". You've helped me to refocus and for that I am deeply grateful and give you my sincere thanks. With love and blessings Anita Very well written!!! And very timely advice for me!
