I would go to a local trade school and get some administrative skills. Grant it, you may have to work elsewhere until you finish school......but once you have the computer skills needed for todays market you can't take those skills to a variety of differnt jobs. After graduation the school usually sends you out for an externship and that is a great way to get your foot in the door. If you don't get hired on you can go to a temp agency and they will help you get a job quickly. Good luck and believe in yourself.

My sister I too was a single parent, I raised my daughter with God help of course. It was not easy but I did it. First there are place that would help you get you on your feet job wise. A training workforce. There you will find what your skills are. Fine you a part or full time job while you going to your training. I dint know how old your children are. If you have friend or family that you can trust to care for your children that would be good. Sometime the place where you getting your training, will help you with babysitting for your children. When there is a will trust me there is always a way..I did it, and i can tell anyone you can do all things threw Christ that strengthen you..For man its impossible, but for God it is possible. You must crawl before you walk. The movie that Will Smith is in..Is a example for all of us single parents Men and Women...He did it you can do it..I did it and I am a example...smile God bless and I hope you the best..Dint give up...you not alone..and do get with positive people that is a must...thank you..Betty

I would definately look to going back to school. It will really help, but for the time being i would suggest child/day care. Day care, in my opinion, is a fairly safe place to start. It's not much, but it provides enough money to survive. I know some day cares provide reduced costs for having an employee's child enrolled, but that would have to be checked on with that particular center. Plus they are good because they provide flexible hours and allows you time to spend with your children in the evenings, to go to school to advance your degree, etc. I only suggest this because it is a job that has been a true blessing to me during my high school years and also now while I'm attending college. If it's not something that interests you for the long term, at least look into it for the time being while you look for something else. Good luck with your search.

ensure you're no longer overcompensating by skill of eating greater only for the reason which you're understanding. do no longer think of that only for the reason which you're understanding, you may all of sudden consume something. additionally, ensure you weigh your self on a similar time each and daily (i want to advise first subject in the morning, until eventually now breakfast, without clothing), as weight can selection in the process the day. while you're crash weight-reduction plan (eating infrequently something), this could fairly have a damaging result (weight benefit) on the commencing up via fact the physique is going into survival / starvation mode and could carry onto and keep ANY foodstuff that that's given. once you're already doing each and every thing wisely, do no longer stress out. save understanding and the load will come off. ultimately, you will plateau (looking on how lots you weigh to start with) and you will see your physique start to be greater defined (muscular). you may gain advantage somewhat weight at that element, yet you probable won't benefit inches, via fact this is going to easily be muscle weight and muscle weighs better than fat.

if you don't have any considerable and useful skills for finding a job, i suggest investing in your own business
how about applying for a loan, then putting up maybe an internet cafe or something?
or even franchising a small business enterprise that's really in demand nowadays? like, for example, here in the philippines, donut shops are really in demand. so, i would go for franchising the best donut shop out there. whatever floats your boat.. or whatever is in demand over there.
bear in mind that most businesses start out slow at first, so i suggest doing your research well.
after your business booms, try investing in other enterprises. buy stocks or shares in reputable companies.
after a couple of years or so, if you're perseverance pays off, you can end up with a very stable business, with a steady income for you and your kids.
good luck! ^__^

To start...you can do this! I was in your exact shoes in '94. Do not be afraid to get help when needed...I shouldn't need to say more here, I think you know what I mean. I started with a temp. agency...they will work with you. My first 'real' job was a teller in a bank. No real experience needed, because they will train. That is key...find a job that will train you. I wish you much success with your new found freedom...it may not feel like it now...but after you get to know yourself again all will fall into place. Sending many blessings your way!!!
