In this article we have you covered! We will go over tips to for reentering the workforce at any age and no matter how long the gap!

1. Resume Building

You want your resume to be a great reflection of you! Focus more on your skills and experience instead of dates for when you worked places. Have a catchy heading at the top such as “Marketing successes.”

You want your resume to stand out, right? Head over to Adobe Spark Post to create your own unique and beautifully done resume! They have plenty of lovely resume templates to choose from!

2. Update Your Skills

Before you even start looking for a job, you want to build your skills. This is important for how to reenter the workforce after a long absence. Take an online course, intern, volunteer, and then you can cover some of the gaps and build your knowledge and experience!

3. Get out There

You might shy away from going online and posting your resume, but it’s a great way to put yourself out there. You can still go to different places and see if they’re hiring, but submitting your resume online is so much quicker!

Check out places to submit your resume such as Monster and Indeed. Then you can also search for specifically what you’re looking for!

If you land the interview it’s important to practice for it. Look up common interview questions and practice how you’d answer. When you get to the interview remember:

  • Arrive ready for the interview!
  • Discuss your gaps briefly, don’t get too into detail.
  • Talk about your skills and experience. It’s about showing you’re a blank slate ready to learn and grow!
  • Remember even if you haven’t worked in 10 years you can still be a great asset for any company!

5. Reentering the Workforce

Remember that reentering the workforce after a long absence can be tricky, so it’s important to be open to all opportunities whether they’re part-time, full time, or contract work. They might not be your ideal current position, but you can always gain experience and move on to the position you really desire.
