All mums and dads want their youngsters to be happy. In order to do that, you may go out to work to help pay for nice vacations, give the kids treats, buy those expensive toys that all their mates seem to have and the trendy clothes they want.

Then, you become a really trendy parent because you land what your kids consider to be the best job – in my case that was working with mobile phones for one of the well known mobile phone companies. I got the opportunity to bring home mobile devices which were not yet on the market, working with the latest technology, helping to locate bugs before the mobile devices got to the shops. I was the uber-cool mum!

How, then, do you advise your kids that due to the recession, folk are not purchasing as many mobile devices and the company is down-sizing, closing your site, and with this news, your work is disappearing. You will become one of the many redundant workers looking for new employment. Not only are you no longer employed with cutting technology, you now need to find another career – for you any employment will do, but for the youngsters they still want to have the uber-cool mum. Lots of their chums’ mums are teachers, nurses, shop assistants. Their mum was special and they don’t want to lose that status.

So, you go through vacancies, Online Jobs, job centre vacancies, agency vacancies, you dream about employment, your whole life revolves around getting that next role. Then a little star shines at you. You have located what you think may be your ideal new career. It is an opportunity to start an Internet Business, with a new technology, and at the same time Work From Home. Maybe you have seen something that suits you and appeals to the kids at the same time.

When I was reading the Online Jobs, I came across an opportunity to join an Internet Business as a franchisee, which was actually affordable, so I did some investigations to be certain that the work was as it appeared in the advert.

This new venture was in the field of search engine optimization. It informed me that I would need only basic internet skills, and all training would be included in the price I paid. As I have recently been taking Open University training in ITC, which overlapped with some of the skills which would transfer to this job, I was ready to find out more.

I had interviews and meetings with the founder of this franchise and we were both pleased for me to join this Internet Business.

Another bonus was that I would be able to Work From Home. I already had a phone, computer, internet connection and access to a printer, which are really the only tools necessary to set out in this venture. Within weeks of seeing this opening in the Online Jobs, I had started my training. My youngsters are happy that I am once again working with cutting edge technology and they love the fact that they can tell folk I am now the owner of an Internet Business where I have the opportunity to Work From Home. Cool mum continues!
