Finding a job that fits in with your family life can be difficult.  There are many considerations such as; the cost of childcare, proximity to home, wages and a job that matches your skill set.  Many Mums and Dads tell us they have trouble finding the perfect job, but when there are so many barriers to employment, beggars can’t be choosers.  So why not volunteer your services for free with a smaller organisation?  Small business owners usually cannot afford to hire staff and your no-strings-attached assistance could lead to a job offer in the future. Better yet, being back in the workforce will give you current workplace experience, with skills and abilities to add to your resume.  You could also ask for a reference which will support you in your search for that dream job.
