Trying to re-enter the workforce after an extended absence presents challenges, and can be a daunting task. Changes have happened in the workplace and in technologies used. The atmosphere and expectations may have changed (for example, the impacts COVID had on remote work for many jobs!)
You have changed… and self-doubt may have crept in after being away! However, preparing in advance is the key to easing the challenges.
In this talk, you will hear about my own return to work after 12 years of minimal part-time employment in my field, and also information from my own research into what experts recommend. You will learn:
- What is an extended absence (and the impact of how long “extended” is!)
- Why it is important to prepare for returning
- When to start preparing
- How to prepare
- Who to seek out for support / assistance
- Where to look for opportunities
