Press Release Body: Look around the internet and you will find thousands of single
moms due to divorce, separation or death of a spouse desperate to find a way to work
around the needs of their children.

Despite all the lip service, companies offering employment are simply not friendly
to single moms. Speaking to single moms, there is one in particular that comes to
mind. She started out working for a "family friendly" company who assured her that
it would not be a problem if she needed time off or a flexible schedule to care for
her child. After 60 days she was let go because she had come in late one day due to
snow and school starting late, and then was called home another day due to the
illness of her child.

Another company she worked with was at first more flexible and understanding of her
needs. She worked at the office during the day and on the couple of days they
needed her to work during the evening she was allowed to do so from home. She
worked in the internet sales department. She had many compliments over her success
and was told repeatedly that they knew she wasn't taking advantage of the situation
because her numbers were high. Yet..as time when on, they decided she simply had to
start working at the office in the evenings. This was due to the fact that one
night they had gotten busy and could have used an extra "body." In tears she was
forced to leave a job she loved because she didn't have child care during the
evenings.

From there, she started looking for something part-time in the hopes that if she
could just scrape by financially until her child entered first grade and was at
school a full day, she could get back on track. Of course most part time jobs want
you to work in the morning, which didn't fit her child's afternoon kindergarten
schedule. Almost every dollar she earned would have had to be given to daycare.
However, she didn't give up, she kept looking for that perfect part-time, flexible
or even work at home job.

Six months later she got the picture, she wasn't wanted, and it wasn't due to her
skill set or work ethic! As a single mom, she simply had too much "baggage" for
employers to hire her.

Finally, she decided to set out on her own and did a lot of research at places like
www.pwahsolutions.com to learn about starting up her own home based business, the
only avenue she felt was left to her. She finally did start a home business
partnering up with a company called ITV VenturesT (which you can find at
www.pwahsolutions.com under business opportunities), where she can take inbound
calls from infomercials. With this business she has the ability to work around her
child's schedule and build a very nice client base over time.

In conclusions, the most family friendly business you can work for is probably your
own! I'm sure there are exceptional companies out there who really are family
friendly, but most moms simply don't have access to them.
