Re-enter workforce: Admin, Financial, or Social Support
This individual, a 40-year-old single mother with a business degree and 10 years as a stay-at-home parent, needs to re-enter the workforce, earning $60k/year, without night shifts, in a non-competitive, people-helping role, utilizing skills in documents and numbers. Possible career paths include administrative roles in non-profits or healthcare, financial support roles (e.g., credit union positions, accounting clerk, mortgage processor, or entry-level financial advisor after licensing), or social service coordinator positions. To achieve the $60k target, focus on roles that offer clear growth paths. Updating software skills (Microsoft Office Suite, specific industry software), leveraging networking opportunities, and highlighting transferrable skills like organization, budget management (from household), and problem-solving from parenting on the resume are crucial. Consider online courses or certifications in administrative assistant skills, bookkeeping, or specific financial software to bridge the gap.
