Discrimination in this area against stay at home moms ?

[TNGal78]

Ok, I have 2yrs college related experience in the medical office field.

I was looking for some type of office work, even if it is starting as a file clerk or whatever. I have a lot of medical related coursework from Walter's State and Northeast State. I just never got the opportunity to put it to use. I just want to "get my foot in the door" somewhere and get experience.


I would not be able to work nights, but a weekend here and there might be ok. My husband works 2nd shift and there wouldn't be anybody to watch my kids at night.


I do like working for myself and being my own boss because I can set my own hours....but right now my clientele is down due to the economy. It also comes in handy because I can set my hours around my husband's work schedule and he is at home to take care of my kids while I am out working.


I made 80.00 in 3 hours the other day (!) and I wish I could do more work like that. It's just unfortunate that a lot of people are doing away with my service at this time. (I know I sound vague but you can pm me if you wonder what I am talking about...don't want to get in trouble on the board for "advertising").


So my next "wish" would be to get some sort of medical office related job. Benefits are not that important because my husband has good benefits. Hours are not that important, could be part time.

I would advise you to check Craigslist. The last time I was on there, there were several ads filling positions like medical office clerk, etc. etc.

Be careful with job stuff on craiglist. . .especially if the e-mail address is a gmail address. A lot of those are phishing scams. They're easily recognized though, since they advertise things like $40,000 for a secretary position that only works like 25-30 hours a week.

How's the job search going TnGal?

Hey there -

Most healthcare office jobs are around $8 to start. Not sure if you are interested in that salary or not. If you could pick up more work ($80/3 hours) that would definitely be better cash flow wise.

Pulling for ya!
