Come-Back Moms
 

Come-Back Moms
Finding Work-Life Balance

Are you a mom now in the workplace or a stay-at-home mom, who has made career decisions based on family, work experience and interests?

Virginia would like to meet with you individually or in groups for conversations about your intentions for your future.

She has conducted job search classes for hundreds of divorced single parents and enjoys the challenge because she has “been there, done that” as a single mom raising a family of four to adulthood.  

If you would like to assess your work-life balance now and for the future, please consider these important questions:

 For Working Moms…..

  • Is my work filling a family financial need?

  • Is my time at work enjoyable?

  • Am I covered for emergencies?

  • Does my employer give me flexibility?

  • Would I like more options?

  • Am I using all my skills?

 For Stay-at-Home Moms….

  • How long can I stay out of the workplace and still be able to re-enter when I'm ready?

  • Could I find part-time work or volunteering?

  • What skills am I not using?

  • What can I plan for other opportunities?

  • What about time or experience gaps in my resume?

 Work-Life Balance

  • Come-Back Moms do not need “shoulds”… someone saying, “you should do this…” 

  • The best opportunities come when you’re open to change, ready to consider new ideas for your life on your own timetable!

Virginia Byrd can show you how to transfer your home management skills into the workplace if you choose to come back!
