Going back to work

About this book

Women who left their careers to raise children--whether for the toddler years or until the nest is empty--face economic, emotional, and career challenges when reentering the job market. Learn how to find work that works for you and your family ; explain that big black hole on the résumé ; understand that there may be no "perfect moment" to go back and why ; find work with flexibility ; face family challenges when Mommy's role changes ; say no to a new boss ; negotiate everything from salary to flextime. Based on a national survey of nearly 1,000 women and dozens of personal interviews.
