I've been out of the workforce for some time. I own that and embrace it. I spent nearly a year searching for a job without success before it became apparent that my parents needed my help. They are in their 80s and have multiple health and mobility issues. I've been caring for them since the summer of 2012.
Now we're trying to find nursing home care for my dad, and I'm hitting the bricks in search of work. It's a daunting challenge, but I'm optimistic. I know I have things to offer -- I have a strong background in technical writing, analysis, journalism and copy editing.
Stay tuned.
