I have previous customer service skills, such as handling inbound calls in a call center environment.

Home Health Care. Also known as a CENA (certified nurse aide), a home health care worker, or a home health care aide. You can make much more by taking care of the elderly than you can flipping burgers. Temporary agencies hire CENA's all the time, and nursing homes are in high demand of health care workers. Usually your local college offers a CENA course for $300 (and many nursing homes will pay for this course for you! plus ask the college about grants for women that they offer).
You can easily make $8 - $15 an hour depending on your area. Plus it's relatively easy work (physically speaking). You just need a caring heart, and some patience. Other than that, you don't usually even need a High School diploma to get qualified.

Greetings,
I am turning 47 this Saturday. I have work two jobs that you may be interested in. I work for a company called liveops. This is a work at home call center position. We take calls for a variety of clients. Please visit liveops.com. Click on the link, become an agent and complete the applications. Liveops is open 24/7 and you pick the hours you would like to work. The requirements are a separate phone line with no features (no caller id, no call waiting, nothing but a dial tone), a computer, cable dsl,corded phone with headset (can find it at Walmart for 10.00) and 30.00 for a background check.
My full time job is the love of my life. I am a referring travel agent. I can save money on my own travel and even write-off many of my trips but I also make money when people book travel on my website. Most of the time people book the travel themselves but I do also help people when they need my help. I invite you to visit my website http://ytb.com/godsgirl2travel and click on the view company presentation for more information. People are always going to travel, why shouldn't they book their travel with you. If you have any questions on either liveops or the online travel agency, please contact me at cassandra@godsgirl2travel.com These are the best years of our lives

Would be able to continue to do what you did before? There are lots of call centre jobs. Those with call centre experience are also given more promotions, etc. Or you may want to cross over into the tourism-hospitality sector, where customer service skills are also valuable.

Ask and you will get an answer could be all bull, ask specific questions, you get bulls eye answers! Please express exact interest in various things you may want to consider.
Here's a general check list you might want to consider:
1. Forget getting ONE job, get more than one jobs => become an entrepreneur.
2. Give what you want to get...give employment...hire somebody to get you hired, for starters!!!
3. Post your resume online and seek out people that may have interesting assignments for you.
4. being a woman is not a constraint...being 47 years old is also not one. find out what you want to do, and go for it...don't look for what the world thinks is good for you...
Cheer up and good luck :)

You might try something in retail or fast food. with your previous experience, you may have the opportunity to begin in management; if not, and you have a good work ethic, these industries promote from within, and quickly.

Try a temporary employment agency. It's a great way to get your foot in the door and could lead to permanent employment, if that's what you want. Here's a link to a great staffing firm.

Call centers still abound in the US. Go for it. Become a manager.
Good luck!

it all depends on your "financial requirements"....do you need part-time or full-time work....if you're a people person with customer service skills, try something where you interact with people on a personal level....only you know what your truly good at...
