I was laid off from a comfortable Blue Collar Job in April. My big problem is money to go back to school another is TIME. I work a Part Time job also to supplement my full time job because the benefits were inadequate, however now the full time job is no more, but I only have so much unemployment insurance and it will probably run out in November, so lack of enough time is another reason that is stopping me from returning to classes to make a change. I am 48 and afraid I might be discriminated against in the future because of my age, even though I don’t even look close to my age.

Hello, I am stuck in a job with no future. No room to advance and yearly raises. I have been with this bank for five years. In addition I have three years in the Insurance industry, eight years in the Leasing finance business and ten years in the mortgage industry. The company makes billions of dollars each quarter and proudly lets us know, how good we did. But we do not see any of the profits. The internal job postings require that, you have a college degree and/or 7 to 10 years of experience for the higher grade level jobs. If you do not have this, then you are STUCK. I do not know what my real purpose in life is and I’ve tried to discover it. I feel that you should have a workshop for women like me, who feel the same way. The ideal position for me, would be in the entertainment field, as an assistant, personal assistant, promotions coordinator, talent scout or life coach. I am grossly underpaid and desperately trying not to go into foreclosure. I am willing to work two jobs just to stay afloat. I am actively looking for another job. How can I secure a job with Women for Hire? I feel that I could definitely help other women find their career path and find happiness in their lives. I know that I possess the necessary motivational, encouraging, listening skills to help other people.
