Frugal Homesteader
Been crunching numbers lately, and it doesn't look we are getting ahead. We have a heavy mortgage payment, plus we have to fix our basement (water damage=mold that insurance won't cover) I'm just about as frugal as one can get, (= can't cut costs any more than I already am) so my next alternative is to get a job. Thing is that I haven't really worked for 12 years. I have previous secretarial/administrative experience, worked for childrens aid-but it was so long ago. All my volunteer work has been kid related.
I just got done updating my resume, and will send it out to different openings, but that is the easy part. What do I say in a cover letter, and how do I convince employers that they should hire me, since it has been so long since I have worked outside the home.
Hubby is still gone hunting, so we haven't discussed this, but I think it is the only option. The basement needs to be fixed.
Has anyone gone through the"re-entering the work force" thing? Does anyone have any advice on how to go about this?
