Depending on how long you have been out of the workplace, you may need some help navigating the landscape and not a project you want to embark on by yourself.
To get all the support you can, why not set up a career reentry advisory board to help you.
Who could you ask to be on your career re-entry advisory board?
- Prior supervisor
- Previous or current mentor
- Career coach
- Recruiter
- Spouse
Some things the board can assist you with?
- identifying your values, interests, skills and abilities
- setting your goals
- be a sounding board for disappointments along the way
- sharing job leads
- checking in regularly on your progress

good tip to get a board of advisors. I took a career class at a career link office and got a lot of support from them too.

Hi Evelyn,
Thanks for stopping by. You are right career one stops across the country offer really terrific support for career reentry workers.
A board of advisors sounds like a good idea. Several heads are always better than one or mine...
I am sure I am not the only one who is sometimes amazed from where the good ideas will come. My older children were really helpful when I went back to work.
