Why did you engage with Mom Corps, Boston? I was interested in part-time consulting work after my first daughter turned one year. Mom Corps was offering a networking seminar in the Boston area that featured a discussion panel with several impressive guest speakers. I attended the seminar and learned more about Mom Corps’ background and mission, as well as the strong relationships Mom Corps has with its employers.
How was your experience working with Mom Corps? Initially, my relationship with Mom Corps was through an out-of-state recruiter. At first, I thought this may present a challenge to the recruiter to have insight into the Boston market. I found out quickly that the Mom Corps organization has proactive and informed recruiters who really know their stuff, and demonstrate a solid interest in helping you understand the true nature of available positions. They make sure you are a mutual fit with their clients before moving you forward in the process.
How has having a flexible job with Mom Corps affected your work-life-balance? The flexibility that was offered by Mom Corps and their client enabled me to work 3 days a week and keep my family's schedules intact. The ability to do the work from home, instead of commuting during rush hour, allowed me to produce more work in a day which increased both my efficiency and my ‘happiness with work’ quotient!
What is your go-to stress reliever? Exercise is the best for me for releasing stress and clearing the mind. If time is a factor, I find quick relief in taking a small break from what I’m doing by reaching out with an email to a dear friend with a hello or family photo.
How would you describe your overall experience? My relationship with Mom Corps feels like a partnership. They look out for me and I look out for them. Whether it’s in the form of me delivering the best quality work possible, or them seeking new opportunities for me, we are in it together and the relationship is mutually beneficial.
