Help to get back into work

LonelyLil

I was just watching the back to work benefits program and was wondering if there is any back to work help for those that aren't on benefits?

I am in my mid 30s and have never had a full time job and have not worked for many, many years. My children are growing up and would love to find something before Christmas to help with money.

I have to idea how to apply for jobs, how to do a CV or even where to look.

My husband works and we are not on benefits. Any thoughts?

Local Careers Centre / Local Papers / voluntary groups - sometimes there are progs funded for people other than benefit claimants.

Maybe do some voluntary work first so you can have something good to put on your CV? If you do a search on the net in your area, there should be some companies you can register to?

I did voluntary work and it really does impress employers. They always mention how much i have done when i have had interviews. Plus it is really enjoyable. I helped run a craft week for people with learning difficulties and i can safely say its the most enjoyable and fun weeks 'work' i have ever done!
