Leaving This World Behind

[Suzel]

You could say that you did home-health.

These days you don't have to have a license to be a caregiver and alot of people work on their own instead of through an agency.

They always have ads on craigslist for "domestic help" for home health/caregiver jobs.

You could say that you just want to break away from health care.

Get two or three people for references. Honestly, you are a caregiver now, just in a different way.

Most caregiver jobs entail: helping with a bath/shower, dressing, grooming, light house keeping and cooking a meal or two.

They mostly want a companion to talk to and company, after you do the above, that is all they want.

It is low pay though, around $10/hr if you're lucky.

If you could get someone to vouch that you have been a great caregiver it would be easy to fudge the resume a little.

Many thanks for all the suggestions.

I guess this is a job that the minute you enter it you should be thinking about quitting. Well I haven't. In the last couple of months I have really been doing some thinking and a little freaking out. I guess by starting this thread was taking the first step.

I have to agree with ATL, using the excuse 'finding myself' won't go over very well. How about, I've been having a really long midlife crisis.

Ansley, I would think the interviewer would st-st-st-udder in awe of your beauty, so clearly you have the upper hand

[LuckJack]

Left the work force for a stay at home relationship that has ended would be the one I would buy, and the restaurant thing is right, the work is so hard many of us burn out or ware out and end up teaching LOL.

[Marcus Aurelius]

Really. If I was HR and saw you smile I wouldn't care. You're hired.
On a second note. You are the second provider that is retiring after I made a mental note that she is the pinnacle. The uber must see. Best of luck to you.

[Ansley]

Thanks for the kind words Marcus. I'm not retiring quite yet though. Just trying to figure out what I need to figure out.

After hanging out with all the clowns around here, I should be granted a full scholarship.
PJ don't be silly, that's photoshop, not makeup.

Now PJ, there will be no jello wrestling between me and Ansley. I was saying she could say she'd been away at college. - Clown college for a joke.

[pjorourke]

You can't fault me for trying.
