I’m so sorry it’s been such a lonely road. I’ve started putting my hat in the rings of book clubs, ladies events, and other low stakes social gatherings. I would start looking into something like that first. As for your work situation, have you considered finding something through a temp agency? My mom actually just found a work from home job through one. There are classes and trainings you can do from home as well to build up your skill set. You can spin your CV’s wording too. Are you willing to provide an example of something you’ve done through volunteering?
