Returning to work after an extended career break can be really difficult. At MNHQ we are interested in finding out the barriers that parents face when returning to work after having 2 or more years out. We’d love to hear from those of you who are looking to return to work after a break and those who have returned to work after 2 or more years out.
There are numerous barriers that can affect parents returning to work, from work/life balance and childcare costs to difficulties interviewing and lack of confidence. Please post on this thread the issues you have faced when looking for work after a career break of 2 or more years, whether you ended up returning or not.
Are you put off even attempting to go back to work even if you wanted to? If you have tried and didn’t manage to get back to work please share why you think this was? If you were successful returning to your sector after a long break please share your tips for how you managed this.
We are interested in talking to a few Mumsnetters about their experiences of returning to work after a 2 or more year break. If you’d be happy to be contacted about this please fill in this form whether you have returned to work or not and we will be in touch.
Thanks
MNHQ
