I have worked as a stay-at-home parent for 10 years, and I'm 50. After my children starting school, I decided to move into software testing, and I have completed an online certificate. What I'm missing is someone who has walked this path: feedback on my interview answers, a realistic view of the job market in Amhara, and a sounding board when things feel overwhelming. I'm hoping for one 45-minute video call a month for three months, plus the occasional email question. I'll bring specific questions and I won't waste your time. All I can offer back is my thanks, and I'll mentor someone else once I'm settled. Glad we found this place.

        sending love, Dereje. Hope this works out for you. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too

        • Hope things get better soon, Dereje. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Haifa.
