Thanks Cristy:) Yes have tried that approach before, but never ended up with a job that was worth doing:( So I do try to expand on my trades as what I have learned from business. it is scary a bit to realize 5 years later, I am almost unemployable for the lack of references:( But I am sure something will come my way with my name written on it! That is the plan, to pick up a job...any job, just to fill in the gap for awile;) I hope I can "sell" myself on the job market as well as this market heheheh

You and I have alot in common I think, lol...I too have backpacked across country, did also pick apples etc...hehehe Yes I am certified in Pet grooming and Relexology massage. But I want to leave those trades, or at least not depend on self employment any longer:( It is too hard for future retirments etc...No pension plan and no bennifits:( I will maitain my massage, but would like to have something to back me up as well. Thanks for your input, I was starting to feel I was alone with this issue:)

To reflect upon

I have now been full time SP for about 5 years. Although I have had many job tittles in the past there is this hole of 5 years or so with no job reference:( So, I am building a resume now, trying to utilize the skills I have now from marketing and operating a small business owner...lol... I am lucky however that I have run a Professional pet grooming studio and now a reflexology studio. So now not only is there 5 years I have spent as SP, but another 5 years of those 2 other businesses. There is a down side to being an small business owner, as employers do not want to see self employment for 10 years, they may think I am too "set in my ways" or simply, how do I give a reference for just myself? So what is my natural skills to bring to the job market? Sales seem likely?? I certainly have gained skill with marketing, assessing clients needs, well organized scheduling, diffusing stressful situations, working under pressure, self motivated, leadership qualities. But is this enough? With no one to provide reference for my work...too bad they cant see my rec's lol.. How do other full time SP's deal with issue? What suggestion might you have for someone in this position? Anyone in an employer position could possibly help me with what you are looking for in a resume, and what are your impressions when you see a resume with a 5 year gap in it?

the only one

I often find myself thrown into a whirlwind of hilarious, chaotic episodes I like to call" Sophia Moments" lol... Today I was sitting on my balcony enjoying the sun, txt with friends, then suddenly the screen shows " emergency only"!! OHHH NO!! I thought I was disconnected! Did forget to pay bill? I try to use the 611 option...not so lucky:( So off to the mall to koodo I go! Wait forever to be served. Then magically it is discovered it was my sim card was out of place!! So yippy not cut off!! Right???? Well, then i am walking to the car, and didn't I go and swing my arm, phone fly's there the air, right into a puddle!!!! So now....back to Koodo I go!! Thankfully I had enough credit to get new phone!! Doesnt end there....got home, hungry. made some sweet potato fries, mmmm smelling good....then poof!! All over the floor:( Was the last of the bag too!! boooo, lol When you find yourself saying...." just one of those days!" Then please feel free to post it here! lmao

It is not as much of a concern for me here in Freddy, but yes, I can certainly see how it would be an issue! Interesting suggestion, would help to slow down the bumping trend...hmm?

I am for the first time really in love! I am proud of who I have become, as I had a very hard life, whereas many others would crumble into pieces, it has made me stronger:) I love being an SP, cause I truly love making people feel good about themselves!! Thanks for this thread, I feel good!

Ha! Gotta love that last quote!! Wow, I better go check my lawn, now...

I have just began a relationship 6 months ago. This is the first realationship for the past 4 years!! I was always remained single thinking that it would affect my work. Or if I did find a man, and he accepted my work, would he be the kind of man to hold it against me?? Well, I am a lucky girl, cause he is very accepting and has never ever made me feel bad for my choice:) I was with someone years ago that claimed he was fine with it, but then started to " demand" certain activites were off limits.....thus my service did suffer. Because I am not able to lie, and gulit ridden to do those "off limit" activites. So yes, in a way some kinds of relationships may affect me, ( which is the unhealthy varity) But when I am in a good a secure, healthy relationship, then no it does not affect my service. As Cat said...." showtime" ... But yes, availbilty certainly does suffer a bit.

Hope you have a day filled with joy and lots of love!
