A Mother's Invention Matches Women's Skills With Employers' Needs
Davis, of University Heights, never wanted to be an entrepreneur. She just wanted to do something that she enjoyed with flexible hours, ideally a job that could draw on her master’s degree in instructional technology and distance education. Instead, she found administrative jobs that didn’t interest her or corporate jobs that weren’t flexible.
“I started exploring things I always wanted to do and ended up working evenings as a sous chef coordinator for three years at Legacy Village,” she said.
Before Davis changed careers, she managed e-learning and webcasting nationally for professional services company Ernst & Young. Prior to that she worked in a placement firm. Her background ties in perfectly with her new company, BeyondMotherhood.com, a niche job board aimed at connecting employers with experienced stay-at-home moms.
But that wasn’t the plan.
“I couldn’t find what I was looking for, so I just created it,” she said. “I wanted to be able to look for jobs that fit my schedule. I had many conversations with friends and other amazing women who faced the same challenge.”
