Book Review: Back on the Career Track: A Guide for Stay-at-Home Moms Returning to Work

We regularly review career-related books and tools to provide meaningful resources to our visitors and members.

This month we reviewed "Back on the Career Track: A Guide for Stay-at-Home Moms Who Want to Return to Work" by Carol Fishman Cohen and Vivian Steir Rabin

"Back on the Career Track" provides strategy and advice on how to return to work after a multi-year career break. Cohen and Rabin both took multi-year career breaks to care for their children and then returned to work. From personal experience and from interviewing 100+ successful moms, the authors developed theBack on the Career Track Cover "7 Steps to Relaunch Success" which includes:

1. Relaunch or Not, You Decide
2. Learn Confidence
3. Assess Your Career Options
4. Update Your Professional and Job Search Skills
5. Network and Market Yourself
6. Channel Family Support
7. Handle the Job or Get a New One

The book is written from a mom's perspective but the principles can be effective for anyone who has taken time off from their career and now seeks to re-energize their work-life.
