[quote=Anonymous]Just apply to everything. I was in the exact same position - wfh about 8years after a 15 year PR career, all My old forms either out of business or all contacts dead or lost or moved to China. around Christmas I applied to a “content creator” role in an engineering firm and they were a small business that had a ton of trouble finding people - they were getting resumes from bartenders, etc and were thrilled when I applied. They hired me without checking references but only part time 12 hours a week. I was honest about salary and said I have no idea how much to ask for - I said I made 110k 8!years ago but I make zero now, so just pay me what you think is fair.” They offered me more than I expected and I guess they were happy with me because now they are expecting me to work 40+ hours a week and already have me a raise. So just keep trying , be honest , be flexible, and remember that the goal is just to get back in the game[/quote]
