No Wings, No Wand, No Excuses…The Fairy Jobmother is all about the business of getting people back to work

A couple of weeks ago, I stumbled upon an interesting television series on Lifetime called, “The Fairy Jobmother.” Host and employment expert Hayley Taylor has a very no-nonsense, yet supportive approach to getting the featured unemployed person back into the workforce.

In the episode I viewed taking place in a suburb of Philadelphia, a 35-year-old woman with the dream house and dream family lost her dream job as a news anchor when Comcast cut the division.

This job was her passion and truly defined her as a person. Without it, she was lost and could not see other possibilities through transferring her skills into a different career path.

As she neared the end of her Unemployment Compensation benefits, the Fairy Jobmother stepped in with her British charm to help get her on the right path. I’ll leave off there because I don’t want to give the ending away.
