"I think there is a website somewhere that will contract people like you to 

work from home."

 

Does anyone know about this website?

Let's pretend that you are a stay at home mother that is interested in 

returning to the workforce.  Let's say you've been out of the workforce 

for a few years and your skills have gotten a bit rusty.  There's one or 

two things, or a combination thereof, you can do.

 

I think there is a website somewhere that will contract people like you to 

work from home.  Granted, they pay "Indian" wages.  However that may 

appeal to you more than flipping burgers.  And, it gives you a chance to 

enhance your resume.  I tried to land a parttime job, and they balked at 

me only asking for what I made at my day job.  I guess if I was to the 

point of maybe taking restaurant work to cover a few bills I might have 

negotiated down.

 

As others have suggested, you could take a few classes.  Now, many people 

try to rejoin the workforce when money get's real tight, and that's about 

the hardest time to start taking classes.  "I feel your pain."  There are 

some books available at http:\\store.midrange.com that may help you brush 

up on skills.  They're also sold at another site that occasionally runs 

sales, and even offers some of them used.
