Whether you work from home, work full time, or are looking for a new career you can make changes to afford yourself a more flexible working style. If you feel it's time for a change here are some tips to create a more fulfilling and meaningful worklife.

#1 Attitude: Look at yourself as a progressive groundbreaker - there's no reason to be unworthy in any way. Go out there knowing that there's a place for you. More and more companies are making accomodations because of the tight job market and the statistics that show that employers who adapt to workers needs, get a more loyal worker.

#2 WorkLife Profile: Write a list of your needs. How many hours a week can you work and when. What kind of work do you want to do. Be specific, it's not just about creating an affirmation, but you want to have this ready for a potential employer. It will allow you to rule jobs out if they are not compatible.

#4 Freelance: Depending on the work you do - you might want to try a few freelance jobs or just project by project work. This will allow you to explore what it is you want to do - and truly how working again will impact your personal time.

#5 Performance: When approaching a new company - be sure to assure the employer why you are the best person for the job. Just because you're looking for flextime - doesn't mean you'll be any less committed to doing the job or project.

#6 Resume & Cover letter: Be sure your resume is ready at all times and updated. When you write a cover letter -you'll want to be honest that the lapses in time are due to family and having children - not being unduly unemployed.

#7 Consider telecommuting from home: As you look for a job, you'll find that more companies are actually looking for people to do this.
