A highly useful, inspiring guide for anyone returning to work after a career break, by a world-renowned return to work expert and Chartered Psychologist. 'A must read.' SARAH ELLIS, co-founder of Squiggly Careers 'Accessible, informative and full of sound advice .' JANE GARVEY ___________________________________________________ Returning to work after a career break can be a daunting prospect. Even though more people than ever are pressing pause on their careers - to care for children or elderly parents, for health reasons, to relocate, or simply to try something new - the roadmap for returning to gainful employment when you're ready is still unclear. Return Journey is the go-to blueprint and source of encouragement for any professional looking to get back to fulfilling work after some time out. It will answer such questions as: how do you regain a sense of professional identity after so long out of the game? Where are the role models to look up to? How should your CV look? How do you tackle the unconscious bias of hirers? How do you handle the emotional turmoil of the first few months? Where do you even start? Julianne Miles MBE, co-founder of Career Returners, lays out a roadmap for the journey. Drawing from case studies based on real-life returners, Miles dives into the challenges of each stage of the return and breaks them down into simple psychological models to see you through. Most importantly, she offers simple, practical advice for rediscovering your confidence and motivation, and for building a career that is more successful and rewarding than ever before.
