Returning to the workforce after a substantial break can be daunting. Leslie Yeargers managed this reintegration successfully, landing in a new role as an Intake Career Counselor, but she learned a lot, herself, along the way. Leslie credits her success to having clear goals and demonstrating how her volunteer work during her stay-at-home-parent years gave her valuable experience and skills for her new role.

In this bonus episode of Find Your Dream Job, I talked with Leslie about how she honed in on her goals, navigated the ups and downs of her job search, and why her current job with Vicki Lind and Associates is so perfectly matched for her skills and interests.
