Mom can't find a job - Need advice please. Thread starter seanyp00h Start date Nov 7, Joined Apr 21, Messages 1, But the problem is, it's now affecting my relationship with my GF Who I just moved in with , the relationship between my brother and I He still lives with my mother, he is still studying and It's affecting my mothers health Stress etc. Quick summary: My mother never finished Matric, she left in Standard 9 and went to Secretarial school.
She divorced my father and opened up her own Dried Fruit an Nuts pre-packaging an sales company. This supported the 3 of us for almost 12 years I think, It was physically draining for her. She was never able to save for retirement or the future.
A few months back she had to close the business as it was no longer profitable. My brother managed to help her get a job at a "Jungle Rumble" where she basically managed the place.
She was underpaid and taken advantage of. She earned R working 6 days a week from 9 - 6, runnig the joint. She walked out the other day as she couldn't take it anymore. I really don't blame her. For the past few months while still working at Jungle Rumble she has been searching for jobs an applying like crazy, but she hasn't received a single reply back.
If she can't get a job soon, her and my brother will have nowhere to stay Moving in with my GF and I is impossible, our place is too small. I send my mom as much cash as I can every month but that causes myself an my GF to be broke from the 1st of every month. All I do is stress, I struggle to sleep and hardly eat anymore. I'm 21, I should be thinking about the latest gadget I'm going to buy, not worry if my mom and brother have enough money to feed themselves.
I really don't know what more I can do. Pooky Garfield's Teddy. Joined Dec 16, Messages 24, Wow that really sucks, I'm sorry I don't have any advice for you, but I hope your situation improves.

Joined Feb 8, Messages Article writing etc doesn't pay much in general but maybe there is something a bit more specialized that she can tackle. You never know. Joined Jan 24, Messages 70, If she's not getting replies back from recruitment agents then she has two options: accept it or do something about it.
Maybe she's boxing out of her weight category, work-wise. Maybe she has a poorly written CV it's not everyone's forte Maybe she needs to phone the recruitment agents herself and begin to build a relationship with some of them, then pester them. Maybe she needs to determine her own strengths and identify the companies she'd like to work on based on that. They know people.
But their desire to lend a hand could seem more like meddling than mentoring, at least to employers. The good news is that there are ways your parents can discreetly help you find your first job without hijacking your hunt. Be specific when framing your request. Your parents should not be making calls or sending emails to prospective employers, nor should they be writing your thank-you notes.
Handle all direct communication with recruiters and hiring managers yourself. Mom and dad can still provide some administrative support by proofreading your emails and thank-you notes for spelling and grammar mistakes. Unless mom or dad is a professional resume writer in which case, lucky you!
You can get a free assessment by uploading your resume to Monster —or have a professional completely overhaul your CV for a fee. Even just making small changes to your resume, such as tweaking wording to mirror language in the job posting, will strengthen your application. Do you love being together in the kitchen? These little things can seem like just happy moments together, but they can be the building blocks of figuring out what you want to do.
She had taken art classes before she was married and she always loved coloring with her daughter, but she had never considered it a viable job. Faced with that empty house, she decided a trip to the art store was in order. Armed with some watercolors and a tablet, she began to carve out some time every day to explore her craft without feeling guilty. I only do it while the kids are at school, and I love it.
From team building classes to volunteer opportunities, your post can be a great resource. For Kristy, a Navy wife in California, the seminars and workshops offered on base were what helped her find her calling.
Base employment offices also offer a lot of resources that can help you find your passion if there are no workshops, seminars or community events that appeal to you. Tests like Strength Finder and the Myers-Briggs personality tests can match what you are innately good at with jobs that put those skills to use. Marine Corps wife Carly relied on these tests to help her figure out what to do with her free time once her children were in middle school. Carly is known around her home as the organization queen, and with the help of the skills inventory, she decided to lend her talent to a local school where she volunteers during the school day.
You know, I stay at home when the kids are there too. If getting away from the house is difficult for you as it can be for many moms balancing the family needs , many of these tests can be found in variation online, often for free.
