Carol’s Top Career Tips, Playlist #5: Reconnecting, Reflecting & Taking Action in Your Return-to-Work Journey
Job searching after a career break or layoff is more than submitting applications; it’s about reconnecting with your professional identity, taking action, and staying visible. In this playlist, Carol Fishman Cohen shares practical ways to build momentum and move forward with purpose.
In playlist #5 of Carol’s career tip series for relaunchers, you’ll find strategies that blend introspection with action:
- Reignite old connections: Reach out to former colleagues, classmates, or managers. They may remember your strengths even better than you do.
- Try the Job Building Blocks method: Break down what you’ve done, what you’ve loved, and use that to chart your ideal path forward.
- Get out of the house: Don’t underestimate everyday interactions. Networking happens everywhere, not just online.
- Embrace the numbers game: Rejection is part of the process. You only need a few “yeses” to make it all worthwhile.
