[quote=Anonymous]I could use some career advice, please.

I am coming off a long hiatus from the workforce after being a SAHM. I am now a newly divorced single mom with two elementary aged kids who will be living with me full time. I need to find a job that I can do remote for 30-40 hours per week while my kids are in school that has flexibility in order to take them to school and pick them up in the afternoons (one of my kids requires medical appointments late afternoons twice a week). Hybrid would be hard but I could make it work if it were 1-2 days a week and I could find a dedicated babysitter.

I have 20 years experience in corporate marketing and a Masters degree. I am OK returning to something entry level and low pay to get my feet wet again; I used to be at senior manager level but know I may have to start again at an assistant level. I am also OK doing a career pivot, and have been looking at other options like a virtual secretary, but even that somehow is hard to break into. I prefer a W-2 job to a 1099. I would love benefits (paying OOP for medical for myself now, luckily kids are covered still on their dad's plan) but know I likely will not get them if not FT.

I have been scouring LinkedIn, Indeed, Idealist, SimplyHired, Upwork, SimplrFlex, FlexJobs, and other sites without much success. I have my profile submitted to temp agencies and recruiting firms, and am spending time networking, have a career coach hired, and reworked my resume.

Any suggestions I am not thinking of? The only other option I am sad to admit I am considering is cleaning houses because I can do it when the kids are at school.[/quote]
