Workplace Reentry Women - The Top Ten Strengths
Women returning to the workforce often sell themselves short,
partly because of society's view that if you're not in the paid
workforce you are "doing nothing".
The other part of this equation is because after a few years of
dealing mainly with children and duties around the home, many
women find own self esteem and self confidence is low as to what
they have to offer in the world of work.
But as any savvy employer knows, a woman returning to the
workplace brings with her extremely valuable skills and
qualities.
Here's a top ten list of the gifts, the blessings, the strengths
that Workplace Reentry Women bring with them to the workplace
..... whether they know it or not!
1. Multi-tasking:
Any woman running a home and family has to be able to at least
16 different things at one time! Next time you see young mother
in the grocery, with a couple of small children take the time to
observe how many tasks she in undertaking at one time. This is
skill and half and immensely valuable out in the world.
And that's all before she gets to the checkout, where neither
child wants to wait, and then getting everything and everyone
back out to the car.
2. Problem Solver, Handling Emergencies, Troubleshooting:
Small problems seem like big problems to small people! Mum has
to handle endless 'emergencies' and some real ones too, not to
mention problems such as how to get the peanut and jelly
sandwich out of the VCR (or even worse, the DVD player!) This is
just the tip of the iceberg of what an at home mum has to deal
with.
3. Manager, Initiative, Self Directed:
She manages the family, the house, the meals, and everything
else around the home. She has no instructions, no training, and
no expert to turn to (unless her own mum)
4. Organized, Inventory Control:
Where is it? How much do we need? Keeping track of everything
and anything is her job too. How do we get Jason to softball and
Janet to ballet at opposite sides of town at the same time?
5. Creative, Innovative, Lifelong Learner:
Finding ways where no ways have been found before (to mess up
the Star Trek saying atrociously!) This needs to be done, how
are we going to do it? If there's something you don't know
that
you need to know - you learn it, you create it, you invent it.
6. Money Management, Budgeting:
Whether rich or 'financially challenged', money still has to be
managed and budgets still have to be maintained. Whether it's
just the weekly grocery bill or when to buy a designer outfit,
budgeting is always part and parcel of the job.
7. Reliability , Stable, Sense Of Responsibility:
Kids trust implicitly, and are totally reliant on mum to be
there when she says she will, and take care of what they need
taken care of. Even the most unreliable of women become much
more responsible when she has a family to take care of.
8. Event Organization:
Ah, those parties. Birthday parties, Christmas parties, picnics,
even holidays - mum is in charge of organization, making it fun
and getting everything ready and put together.
9. Mediator, Interpersonal Skills:
Kids fight! Mum has to calm the waters, reinstate order, arrange
compromises, and do it all with a very unsophisticated audience
who just want what they want.
10. Coach, Mentor, Teacher:
Mothers teach by instructing, helping and also by modeling the
behavior the want. Mothers can teach people who don't want to
learn it, and get it established as a habit. Now that's a skill!
Children learn more from their parents than from school - albeit
different things most of the time. Never underestimate a
mother's role as a teacher.
So there you have the top ten skills. All are directly
transferable into the workplace. There are many more. But this
is just taste of the wonderful gifts a workplace reentry woman
brings with her when she goes back to work.
Don't feel you have nothing to offer - instead celebrate your
wonderful gifts and abilities and share them with the world.
