Dear colleagues,
I hope this message find you in good health.
I am a stay home mother for last 5 years since I live in a nuclear family, I had to take care of my baby and had to leave a flourishing career in HR all those years ago. I have 6 years of experience of working with various companies ,Times of India being one of them , as HR business partner. Now , I am looking for a full time or a part time job since my kid is 5 yrs now and is mature enough to stay without me for a couple more hours after school. I have been trying to find a job opportunity for last 6 months, but no such luck. Have not received even one call , not even for a telephonic interview. I regularly update my resume and keep applying to various jobs but to no avail.
I already feel outdated and defeated. I am a humble person, with very good communication and interpersonal skills, I am good at MSword and pretty clear on HR concepts, thought might need some brushing up to do,but i feel it would not take me much time to come into a full flow of work. My husband is the VP-HR of a reputed organisation in gurgaon and helps me whenever I am stuck. One of his consultant friend suggested I should show fake continuous experience since its difficult to get a job now with my kind of gap, but I find that highly unethical since I have done nothing wrong by taking a step back from work for my kid, which is the world's most important job, I should not have to resort to such measure to earn a decent job. I don't demand high salary, i am ready to join in short time and I have no qualms about the profile either since I have handled all the functions of HR before. Still, I don't get it why , I am unable to find one damn job for myself!!!
Can anyone please throw me some suggestions. Help would be much appreciated.
Regards,
Poonam
