Guide to Job Search for Working Moms

Working mothers face special challenges that other job seekers and workers do not.

From juggling schedules between school, school events, and job interviews to explaining the "gap in employment" -- time out of the work force staying home with young children -- to unmarried hiring managers, the process can be very complicated.

For several years, Rachelle has succeeded in a complicated world: wife, mother of two, full-time employee, and independent career counsellor.

Based on this experience and her education and training, Rachelle will help you, in this Guide, by providing invaluable information, suggestions, and advice for working mothers.
