I registered in July and there is hardly any work around here. Circumstances have changed with my DH work so I am having to apply to be in employment again. I have a good employment history, only out of employment due to maternity. Im still employed now as well as a childminder as a bank support worker, i worked for them permanently before starting up minding. I have a good admin/clerical background before that. Anyway, 17 applications later and still nothing! I had an interview last week but they wanted late nights, not practical with DH shifts and my own lo's. Im terrified with xmas round the corner, I really need some sort of income. Anyone else had this? Finding it difficult to get back into employment after leaving it?
