Restart Your Career

How Do You Begin?

When women have been out of the workforce for a while, they often feel disconnected from their professional selves.  They may also have lost contact with former colleagues.  They may not have stayed current in their former industries.  They may feel less professional confidence.  But there is hope – companies have become more interested in attracting women to return to work – but how does one begin?
