[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can anyone talk about having done this. I want to make this transition but I'm struggling with figuring out how to do it and am frankly just scared. Scared of applying for full time roles, scared of the current job market, scared of managing schedules with full time work after so long in a part time job with a ton of flexibility. My kids are older (late elementary and middle school) and I think now is the time, but I just don't know where to start.

Any words of wisdom? Even just stories of how you made this work for you? I was nervous when I moved to part time work too -- my then-employer wasn't open to it so I left that job with nothing lined up, huge leap, but I had faith in myself and abilities and found a position with a previous employer within a few months that has been amazing. But it's time to make the next move and I just don't know where to start. I'm older and more risk averse than I was back then, and just feel kind of beaten down by the last few years in general (not at work, due to a bunch of other stuff). I need to be brave here and am struggling to work up courage.[/quote]

Job hunting means taking a lot of risk and needs a willingness to be beaten down, so right now may not be the right time for you to start.[/quote]
