It took Niki Harridge eight years to qualify as an architect, and less than half that time again to stop full-time work. "I had my first child at 31," she says. "As soon as I started a family it was hard to run a full-time career. I went back to work three-quarters time when my first baby was three months old. I've carried on working but over a period I've whittled my hours down."Her...

REVIEW: California "WE Prepare" Program
Workerette (Free subscription) | 05/11/2008
As you know, I recently hosted a contest here on Workerette that hits pretty close to my heart: it's a way for folks to get their families prepared for the worst, while hoping for the best. Having lived across the Southeastern US and in several parts of Germany, as well as the Northwest and now California, I think I can truthfully say I've run the gamut when it comes to potential disasters to be ready...

Considering a Direct Sales Business?
Workerette (Free subscription) | 05/08/2008
When I was young, my mom participated in a variety of direct sales programs, from Tupperware to toy parties to craft products. I think the only thing she didn't get on board with at one time or another was any of the health and beauty or candle companies. Personally I always noticed that just as much of her sales seemed to be in orders for herself, but it worked out well since my mom is *beyond* crafty...

Email: Could You Give It Up for a Day?
Workerette (Free subscription) | 05/01/2008
I have always admitted that I love to hate technology. As fascinating and alluring as I find the Internet, and as helpful as it is considering it allows me to work from home, I find the 'Net and my computer to big time wasters. Okay - not just big; HUGE! That's why Yvonne Russell's post over at SmallBizMentor today caught my eye. She asks " can you give up email for one day? " My response is a heartfelt...

With all the job hunting some folks are doing now, it's good to touch back on resumes now and then. I came across this article today about crafting your resume for non-profits, and I found it enlightening.

Fed Cuts Key Interest Rate - Will It Help?
Workerette (Free subscription) | 04/30/2008
With economic stimulus checks just starting to arrive in US accounts, the crunch still feels like it's on. Just half an hour ago the Federal Reserve cut a key interest rate by another quarter of a point , bringing the federal funds rate down to 2 percent - the lowest it's been since 2004. This should mean lower interest rates on loans as banks lower their prime lending rate, which is what influences...

Cashing In on Economic Stimulus Rebate Checks
Workerette (Free subscription) | 04/30/2008
Whose business will you be stimulating with your rebate check over the next few weeks? Will you pay off debt, buy a new TV, put a down payment on a new car, or simply stock up on the necessities like food and gas? Or will you indulge in a few niceties that mark things off on your "want" list with this new windfall? Many people have already figured out the amount of their stimulus rebate (we were told...

Want to Break Free from Stress?
Workerette (Free subscription) | 04/30/2008
Let's face it: we Workerettes are busy, busy bees. Trying to find a work-life balance, trying to deal with the media maelstrom that is war, global warming, the 2008 Presidential political campaigns, product recalls, health threats around every corner, rice shortages.... well, every day it's just "lions and tigers and bears, oh my!" As much as I'd like to ship us all off to a nice calm spa for a week...
