[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If y[b]ou have solid MS office and Google workspace skills[/b] maybe temp? You’ll get your feet wet that way. Lots of different settings hospitals, offices, etc. 20 years is a long time though and the technology has changed a lot. Maybe summer camp counselor stuff? Substitute teaching or other schools admin work? [/quote]

Are you posting from 2007?  Most elementary kids are pretty proficient at MS office and Google workspace, that would be kind of embarrassing to include as your primary skills.

She’s a mom, I’m sure she has used office a lot, that’s just table stakes. [/quote]

Are you illiterate? She says she hasn’t worked in 20 years. I’m sure she can find the excel icon. Questionable if she can run a pivot table or do a  vlookup on some hefty data … or even knows what those are?? I’m sure she’s seen PowerPoint. Questionable if she can build a 20 slide exec summary deck with appropriate graphics without heavy coaching and guidance. She has been out of the workforce …why would she know anything about google worksheets and integrations? [/quote]
