My wife has been out of work for 8 years whilst bringing up our children. During her break, she has done some training in Software Development (more specifically the Code First Girls qualification. She is struggling to make inroads in the job market. Does anyone have any suggestions to how she could find a starter job that isn't specially for 21 year old graduates? She's looking in the London / Berkshire area and remote is preferable ~ thanks!

I have friends in tech, and they are struggling right now. The best advice if she wants to pursue a tech role is to look for an IT support or helpdesk position. That is how people I knew got started.

I’m a scheduler in a major hospital, see my position in other departments being advertised as remote available. How can I successfully negotiate WFH? I’d like to cut down on my 44-mile one way commute.

Background: I’ve been in my position for 1 yr. I have 20 yrs military experience, bachelors in Business. I took an entry level $15/hour job to get my foot in the door. I’m actively looking for a promotion. But 44 miles plus gas & business casual clothing on $15/hour is killing me.
