job hunting

Jul 27, 2005

I have started job hunting.

I turned 32 this year. I was wondering what I can do for living?
My work experiences are totally inconsistent. I worked in a bank for 3 years, in a fast food restaurant for 3 years, helped my father with his restaurant for 2 years and then in a real estate company for 3 months as a temp-worker. Who wants a person with these careers?
I can do office work learned from the bank. I can manage as a shop manager of the fast restaurant. I can wait at table.

Yoshi and I are planning to have a baby soon. Am I able to keep the job I will get?
I have a lot to consider. To think back, things used to be much simpler when I was single and young. When I need a job, I would just go for it. Now I should put priority on my family. That's what I should be most responsible.

What can I do?
Considering both my abilities and the circumstances I am in, what can I do??

I found this job spot on the Internet when I was browsing the search engine of Hello Work. It is a translating work with one-year contract. Sounds like a temp-worker, you can extend the contract year by year.
I can speak and read English. I know translation needs special skills and knowledges but I at least have a basic knowledge. I think I should take advantage of it.
If the contract is renewed on an annual basis, it would work when I get pregnant.
Besides, the company also wants SOHO workers. Won't I apply for it if I am pregnant and even after having a baby?
So I am planning to learn a lot in the office for being a SOHO worker in the future.

I will go for it. I need to have a test. If I pass the test, I will have an interview.
PLEASE WISH ME LUCK!!
