Returning to work after a baby, or career break?

[CareersDragon]

Hi!
I'm an ex Careers Wales Careers Adviser, and I'd like to start a support group to help anybody who is preparing to go back into the world of work. I know how daunting this can be not only as a careers professional but also having taken a long career break myself when my daughter was young.

I am happy to help individuals, but I know that a supportive group can also help each other.

Anyone out there want to join me?

I might be up for that. I need to go back to work soon and my so called career has gone AWOL. Where would you meet?

Hi - haven't thought about that yet. It depends who will be in the group & what they want really...also, where they are geographically.
Do you have any thoughts?

I'm in Cwmbran. Where are you based?

PS I will Tweet this to spread the word.

Hi SaminSouthWales,
I'm sorry, I just saw your msg. I thought I'd get a notification if somebody replied on my thread, but apparently not. I'm in the South, between Caldicot & Chepstow.maybe Usk would be good place to meet & free parking! You can't make the Usk meet up tomoz, I think....

Yes, unfortunately I don't drive which can be pretty inconvenient at times!

Yep, it must make things difficult, but I can always come further to you...

We had a good meet up this morning in Usk. It was great to meet Graham & he was def right about the !
Hopefully next time you'll be able to come

That's wonderful Dragon! Graham might be able to give me a lift to the next one if I talk to him nicely. Hope to meet you soon!
