In conjunction with the Mumsnet Family Friendly programme Bank of America Merrill Lynch are pleased to be recruiting, for the 3rd year running, talent to join their "Returning Talent" programme. In the last two years Mumsnetters applied for and attended the programme and now the search is back on for the 2014 recruits.

They say "At Bank of America Merrill Lynch we have a strong commitment to attracting, recruiting and developing diverse talent. We recognise that choosing to have a family is a very important stage in life and that some people may decide to take time away from work to focus completely on caring for their family.

Further to the success of our Returning Talent programme in 2012 and 2013; in 2014 we will be hosting a Returning Talent Conference. The conference invites 50 participants; who have been away from work for three or more years to care for their family; the opportunity to visit our offices for a full day's conference to explore changes in the workplace, attend speaker sessions and workshops.

Following the conference, 20 participants will be invited to take part in our Returning Talent Programme. The programme consists of two, full day workshops designed to give you access to executive coaching in addition to employees and experts from Bank of America Merrill Lynch, supporting your transition back to work.

There is no guarantee of employment with the bank at the end of the programme but we do hope that many participants will be successful in securing work as a result of their experience. If you are looking at returning to work, the networking, insight and exposure this programme will offer you will be invaluable.

Returning Talent is being delivered by experts in maternity and coaching women in their return to work: www.maternity-coaching.co.uk. Who currently deliver maternity coaching to Bank of America Merrill Lynch employees and their managers".

This is very inspiring Bank of Amercia Merrill Lynch, a great initiative! It's not relevant for me as I want to return to work full-time within 12 months. I do have a related enquiry about working mothers in the banking industry - specifically, about interviewing while heavily pregnant: www.mumsnet.com/Talk/pregnancy/1955693-Interviewing-while-heavily-pregnant

So who's getting the money to advertise this link that does not work??

Don't target mumsnet unless you get the link correct -

I think you'd find alot of us more than qualified, but as quality control goes, 4 million unique users per month, make sure your advert has a link that works??

If you go to the BoA/ML careers website (Google it) and search for "returning" it appears as a link.

Out of interest, is this just for returners who have previously worked in banking or for anyone who may be interested, regardless of past experience?

I applied last year and didn't get on (but the HOUR manager was really nice and helpful). Can I try again? Is there a quota for what type of work/department they are looking for?

AnnMumsnet, thanks for posting this.

I'd really love to apply but wouldn't be able to make the 28th February conference date, if I was to be selected. Does that mean I shouldn't apply?

Many thanks again.
