The Mom/Work Dilemma

When we originally moved up here, I had a job lined up. The goal was to start within a month. However, due to circumstances beyond my control, that didn’t happen (we were waiting on documentation that the government had and it was like pulling teeth to get them back). I’ve since been dealing with the ripple effect from the delay and the unintentional consequences that have resulted from it.

While the job market is good, it’s not always friendly to those in unique situations. This is not meant to be an excuse, as there are individuals who are looking (like myself), but not everyone can fit into that mold that is the traditional job market.

It is now time to get creative about finding something that works for all parties. I have been given a few ideas about how to proceed, but I’m curious: what have you done to find a job when your unique situation didn’t fit ‘the mold’ and you need more flexibilty than what is traditionally offered?
