I trained as a secretary, but since my eldest daughter was born 5 years ago I’m a stay at home mum. Now when my kids are a bit older, I’d like to work part-time from home. I’ve been trying to find work for more than a month now but I find it’s quite difficult to find a job that adjusts to my times and profile. I would have thought that if you’re a secretary and your boss is forever travelling and at meetings you end up having to interact via phone and e-mail. In these cases it seems to be no problem. It looks though that if the case is the opposite, your boss is office based but you’re not in the office, the deal is not accepted. Wouldn’t it basically be the same?

What are the best jobs to look for if you want to work from home?

I quit my job a couple of years ago when my twins were born, I was stressed out. Now I’m beginning to look for work again, but just the sheer process is making me feel strained already. Has anybody some good piece of advice I can follow?
