Hard time getting back after being a stay home dad for 3 years

by sakulati . Updated 9 years, 10 months ago

Hi all,

I worked as an IT support / Tech support in a corporate environment for more than 6 years.HW/SW troubleshooting became my passion since 2003 and I have been doing this stuff for at least 10 years now.

In 2012, my family and I moved to the US permanently and part of our plan was for me to be a full time stay at home dad while my wife works full time in the hospital.

Its been 3 years, my kids are in school and I thought it’s about time for me to get back to business. I dearly missed it! I took the A+ and passed but man, I just realized that the hardest part is getting a job!

I have tried applying in all places, even used staffing agencies but no luck. Is it really this hard to find a job here? Is the competition this tough? Should I go back to school, I mean I already have a degree in CS? I could really use some advice right now, please let me hear your points. Thank you.
