I have just hit my FIVE YEAR ALL CLEAR - Great News.  Also, over the last 18 months, I became the full time carer for my mum-in-law, who came to live with us after being diagnosed with terminal cancer.  Now she (Joyce) has passed away, I am looking for part time work.  I have always worked in Administration, mostly in Hospitals (Admission, Discharge, Pre-Admission Call Centre etc.).  I  thought this would be an easy task - NOT SO.  It seems that prospective employees do not regard my role as carer as a "job" and are therefore classing me as unemployed and I feel I am now unemployable.  This has caused my former depression to come back to haunt me BIG TIME and it is getting worsel.  If anyone has any advice, or contacts, I would certainly love to hear from you.  I have an up-to-date Resume ... ALL I NEED IS FOR SOMEONE TO GIVE ME A CHANCE - PLEASE.

Also, if there is anyone else out there in a similar situtation, please feel free to contact me - maybe we can put our heads together and come up with a solution.

Love and God Bless
