I wanted to go back to work, but on my terms. I wanted to be around for my kids after school activities instead of sitting in traffic. I have now started a contract role, where I can work from home when I need to. I feel I get a lot more done at home and finance roles like mine lend themselves very well to remote working. I love working close to home and the flexibility of remote working when I need it. ‘The best thing is that I can feel my self confidence growing again.
I heard about WorkJuggle from other Mums. It was the only recruiter I signed up to. I actually started my new contract within two weeks of first seeing the job on their website, it was that quick. I have taken on a 2 month contract role in Finance, located close to my home. I have the flexibility of working from home when I need to and I don’t miss the daily commute. My advice to other women looking to return to work is to talk to WorkJuggle. Tell them your long term career goals and what you’re looking for. They won’t waste your time, they are very efficient and will find you the job you are looking for. They really get to know you and so 100% of the jobs they propose to you, will be a good fit, then its up to you to go for it. It is great to know that there is an agency out there who is making flexible working for women a real possibility.
