So here I am, at this mid-stage of my life, planning to resume a career. I haven't worked full-time in an office since my twins were born, and now they're freshmen in college. I loved being a stay-at-home Mom. I loved every single minute of it! But now, with two out-0f-state tuition bills and retirement looming (hopefully) sometime in the next decade for my husband, it's time for me to go back to work.
I've certainly not been completely out of my field during all this time. I've done free-lance writing, worked part-time for a PR agency and part-time for my husband. And I've done tons' of volunteer work. But somehow, I'm afraid I'm going to look like a relic from the dark ages to a prospective employer.
I've checked out books at the library on writing resumes and cover letters. I'm trying to assemble an interview wardrobe. Heels, oh no! It's all part of my reinvention plan. Sometimes I feel confident, but most days I just feel shaky.
