With the exception of odd jobs here and there, I have been out of the workforce for over 8 years. But I recently learned that my youngest is going to be going to school full time this fall. (They just changed the kindergarten program here.) Staying at home all day with all of the kids in school sounds pretty boring - although there are numerous projects I could finally finish up :)
That means entering the workforce again. A bit intimidating considering the time I have been away. I don't even now what I want to be when I grow up any more! My previous career decision (I have a degree in Landscape Architecture) doesn't really mesh with my idea of family any more, due to long hours. I still want to be home when the kids are.
Anyway, I have a lot of thinking to do. And of course I looked for some free audio on the topic!
Ultimate Career Guide offers a free 7 part audio course says it will show you how to "chop months of your job search, boost your salary by at least 25%, get promoted faster, and never worry again about job security or layoffs" :) The free audio is in exchange for an email address, so a sales pitch will follow, I'm sure. I'll let you know how it goes.
Wild About Work is another free audio course that you can get in exchange for an email. This one is more about finding a "vibrant, fun, meaningful career". Maybe I should start with this one because that sounds good to me. He also has an affordable ebook on the topic here, if you are interested.
Well, I guess that will give me a couple of directions to start out with for my new career search.
Happy Listening!
