Going Back to Work
Continue

Reentering the workforce can be a challenge no matter how good your excuse is: time spent volunteering, working or studying abroad, caring for a sick relative or coping with your own illness, or investing in your future by completing a graduate degree.
 
Your search can be made more difficult by the poor economy and a bias against people who have large gaps in their work history. Your return to work can even be hampered by your own fears or your subtle (or not so subtle) wish that you didn’t actually have to buck up and get a job.

But don’t worry, you can do it! With these tips, reentering the work world will be a breeze.
