Restarting after a career break: where to begin

A gentle first week for anyone asking, “Who will hire me now?”

Begin with an inventory, not an application. List what you did before the break, what you did during it, and what you learned.

Then choose one person to talk to this week. Not to ask for a job, only for a conversation.

A restart is built from small, repeated steps. The first is usually a message.

Coaching is not therapy and does not replace medical or mental-health care.
