Back to Work.
Posted: Mon Jan 17, 2005 3:23 pm
Many a housewife with growing children, not having worked for years, decides at some point to get back to work.
And many will decide to prepare themselves for a return to work as maybe an office receptionist, typist or secretary.
Of course these jobs now nearly always involve using a computer - most firms have thrown out those old typewriters !! So the housewife preparing for a return to work will often need to start with a basic computer-use course - and some may be available free in this case.
A good little teach-yourself book to help with this is CGP's Using a Computer (Clait unit 1). And then you might be best moving on to their Word Processing (Clait unit 2) and their Electronic Communication (E-mail and Internet use - Clait unit 3).
That should be enough for many office jobs - and is not too difficult, needing only some time and practice eg. on a public library computer ?!
