I am an African American Female. late 30′s, married with 3 children, living in the 2nd largest City in my state;(+189,000). I have 2 degrees; BBA Marketing and a Masters of Management/Organizational Development. I married right out of college, never had a mentor and did not spend time grooming for a career. I’ve only had two jobs and it was in Administration, doing Diversity work for an area college for 1 year, and in a local high school for 9 years. I decided to stay at home w/ 3rd child after my position was eliminated. I started a consulting business, but only obtain one contract. That was in 2003, I have been persistently looking for work and either I do not have enough experience or I find out the company hired within. I am discouraged. I want to transistion into a career where I can learn a skill, become an expert and hopefully retire in that field; as a professor, consultant, trainer and/or career Development Coach (Ha) I can’t even find a job for myself. Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh, and by the way, I have experienced Pyramid businesses or At home business gimmicks and definitely not interested in doing this.

After reading your posting, I got to the end where you mention being a consultant, trainer or career development coach…and it really hit me.

Those are the exact things that you should be doing!

Right now people are struggling. Jobs are scarce, as you know. For those who can, they hang on and hope things will get better…for others, they do what they can to take courses to give themselves a leg up and a way out of unemployment or jobs that are lacking.

You really need to take your education – which is the biggest asset you have to work with, and use it. Apply at any of the colleges or adult training centers near you. Those two degrees are more than many teachers have these days – and with so many people looking to boost their employability, you could be in the perfect position to walk into a teaching job.

Get out there! Make it happen!
