Hi,I want a change in my mundane life.I am very depressed being a SAHM.I hold a Bachelors in Engg.I used to work in IT.Its been 6 years since i quit my job and i dunno if i will be able to join the IT race again.I am not sure if IT timings will be okay for me.Please suggest some career options.I would like to prepare and start afresh.TIA.
Where r u located? U can try admin jobs or even HR Be flexible with your salary and timings Try staffing agencies
op, you can try getting some certification and then try for IT jobs again. I am not sure if you will get interview calls. But no harm in trying. If you are in India, refresh your skills and try attending walk-in interviews. See how the response is. I had a TL who took almost 5 years break to have 2 kids and then was able to find a job in IT.
Hi OP, Where are u located? If US, what is your visa status and also what are your interests? If you might have to go through some agencies and if you plan to be in IT/Development or even Testing, you might have to take courses and certifications. Now-a-days, It has become very difficult to find jobs and with IT changing so fast, everyone is asking latest technologies. It may not be easy but better to try than stressing at home. Also If you do not care about job nature, you can try Admin/HR side (as someone suggested above).
Thanks much.It is encouraging to know about others who got jobs after taking long breaks. Thanks.Will check out Sheroes. Am i? good to know.Thanks a ton Currently I am in UK.Will be moving to India for good in about 6 months or a year.I will start with the studying and try some certifications.Thanks for your suggestions.
