Insider tips playlist 2

In playlist #2 of Carol Fishman Cohen’s career tip series, we share four underrated strategies to help you stay proactive and intentional in your return-to-work journey:

  1. Tap into your alumni network: Many universities offer free career coaching, job boards, and webinars for alumni which are especially helpful for returners.
  2. Reconnect with old colleagues: Don’t overthink it. Use thoughtful, friendly LinkedIn messages to re-establish connections.
  3. Follow up with intention:It’s not just about getting a job; it’s about building relationships that can support your long-term career goals.
  4. Tune out the noise: Comparing yourself to others can derail progress. Focus on your path and what works for you.
