[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, it's really hard to give meaningful advice not knowing your field, experience, etc. But just to counter some of the people who say it can't be done, I'm working as a freelancer, doing my old job (mostly editing, some conference planning work). I choose my hours and can do most of what I do from home. I think the #1 thing you need to do is ask about part-time/telework options within your company. If they don't even know this option is on the table, they won't think of offering it to you. Speak up about the things you want/value. It just might happen that your company (or a company in a similar field) is looking for what you have to offer on the terms you can offer them. Anyway, don't just assume. I know a lot of women in the same boat as you! (and I!)[/quote]

Do you mind if I ask how you find work?  This is exactly my field (editing and conf planning), I have 10+ years of experience and a CMP, and would love to go freelance/part time.  But I have no idea even where to start looking.  I am already part time but have actually had to increase my hours and face time this year due to management pressure, so I can't cut back further with my current employer.[/quote]
