About this course

Returning to work after a career break can be one of the most significant challenges a woman faces in her professional life. Whether this break was due to family care, education, or other personal reasons, re-entering the workforce requires careful planning and effective strategies for success. This course is specifically designed for women who wish to return to work after a long professional hiatus. It will help them gain a better understanding of their readiness to return to work, evaluate their career options, comprehend the factors influencing the job market, and prepare for re-engaging with their career path. We will begin by discussing the decision to return to work, how to determine if this is the right time for you, and the potential challenges and obstacles that need to be overcome. Then, we will explore the three key elements that will shape your professional experience: content, control, and compensation, and how you can balance them. We will discuss how you can find the right career path that aligns with your skills and goals, and clearly present the options available to you. We will also address the "return-to-work syndrome" that some may experience, offering strategies to overcome it with confidence. Additionally, you will learn how to build self-confidence through learning, and how to start networking and creating strong professional relationships that support your career aspirations. We will assist you in planning your personal and professional development journey, from crafting an outstanding resume and a compelling cover letter to understanding commercial and professional platforms and how to leverage them. When it comes to interviews and salary negotiations, you will be prepared with the best advice and techniques to ensure the best outcomes. We won’t stop there; we will continue to support you in building your professional networks and developing a support system that ensures sustained success in your career. Finally, we will conclude the course by offering a set of essential tips that will help you achieve your goals and maintain your momentum of success.
