My challenges for entering the work force after having 3 young children was quite hard because all l knew was how to be a mother and raise my children; l went up to Alice Springs NT to catch up with a friend and people would say "if you haven't found a job in Alice Springs then you haven't been looking", l had 3 jobs in Alice Springs one was working back at KFC as a casual cashier where back in Queensland l was in my first year as Trainee Manager.

Thanks for sharing your experiences here Colleen. It can be a tough slog getting back into work after looking after little ones full time for sure. Sometimes it's good to remember that being a mum is a full time job and develops some awesome transferrable skills. We've to a great Career Advice article that might help with articulating those here - https://www.seek.com.au/career-advice/article/5-killer-work-skills-youve-honed-as-a-mother
