You can register to have jobs emailed to you if they fit your criteria. www.adage.com.au Also lists jobs and opportunities but this site is focused on those of us who are more mature (45 plus) although this is probably more of an attitude and maturity guideline rather than a hard and fast rule. www.justbe.com.au Similar to seek in that this job listing site is simple and easy to use but the similarities change there! This site is firmly focused on the family friendly employer and looking for a role here will guarantee that there won’t be any surprises down the track. www.lifestylecareers.com.au Lifestyle Careers is an online recruitment job board.

Nicole has been writing since 2008.  The philosophy behind Planning With Kids blog is to show how with a little bit of planning, family life can become easier to manage, less stressful and more fun.  Family life is unpredictable and full of the unexpected – there are many elements that you simply cannot plan for.  Family life is also full of repetitive, time consuming (and sometimes boring!) tasks.  Planning With Kids documents ways that Nicole and her family have stream lined and planned for these tasks, saving time and energy and allowing for more time to then spend more time on the enjoyable aspects of family life. The blog receives over 20,000 unique visitors a month and  was judged to be in the top 5 parenting blogs for Asia Pacific in the 2009 Nuffnang Asia Pacific Blog Awards. http://www.believeyoucan.com.au                                                    If you are starting or returning to work and worried about issues such as a loss of confidence, work-life balance, poor motivation or lack of goals, you might like to contact Expatriate & Life Coach Patti McCarthy, who is a Mum and part-time worker herself and can help steer you through these difficulties.
