Hello,

We're going to be adding some new stuff soon about work, childcare and the like. Please can we pick your brains about a few aspects...

  1. What advice would you give someone who wants or needs to go back to work after having children, if that someone is feeling out of the loop workwise (ie hasn't has an interview for ages, CV has cobwebs on and the whole job-hunting world seems to have moved online)?

What's the best way to go about dusting off your CV, brushing up your interview skills and generally getting yourself back into job-hunting mode after a break?

  1. And if you, personally, went back to your old job after maternity leave, what advice would you give someone about to return to work who might be feeling distinctly anxious about managing the whole parenting-plus-work scenario. What's the crucial stuff to get sorted?

Thanks for reading and thanks in advance for your pearls of wisdom. :)

Thanks very much to everyone who has posted. Brilliant advice, as ever. :)

And earwicga, yes it should, sorry, had obviously taken it as read in my own head, but that's not much use! Blush
