On today’s podcast I’ll share my successful journey to restart my professional career after a 13-year career break. I discuss my background before my career break, what prompted me to step away from the workforce, and the steps I took to get hired again. You’ll hear how I used strategic volunteering to gain current marketable skills while building my network, as well as how I addressed my career gap on my resume. 

One of the volunteer roles that I mention during the episode is when I was a Team Manager for a Destination Imagination Team. DI is a competitive creative problem-solving program for students. To learn more, visit their website at www.idodi.org. 

If you or someone you know would like to share their return-to-work journey on the Her Next Chapters podcast, please send me a direct message.
