Tips for Returning to Work....

1. Maintain memberships with industry associations. Subscribe to newsletters and magazines in your field.  Find professional associations.  Many associations have annual conferences.  A weekend away from your family could be beneficial both personally and professionally. 

2.  Invest time in learning the latest versions of MS Office (Word, Excel, Access, Power Point, and Publisher).  Seek a variety of classes at your community college, continuing education centers, state personnel office or online training sites.  Keep your typing skills up to date by challenging yourself with free typing tests online.  Check our website frequently for enrichment opportunities.

4.   Maintain contact with business references.  Check in once a year with previous employers, supervisors, peers and prior clients.   

5.  Volunteer!!!  It is a great way to increase your skill set and  your business contacts.

6.  Read a great book written just for Comeback Moms.
