This means that a good place to start is to let your friends and other contacts know that you\u2019re planning to go back to work. When they know that you\u2019re looking, they may be great leads for job openings.<\/p>\n<p>OK, so now your contacts know that you\u2019ll be available for work but many people are not sure what kind of work they should pursue. Maybe what you did in the past no longer fits your new schedule nor pay enough to allow you to cover childcare expenses while you\u2019re working.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><b>How Can a Recruiter Help?<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you spend any time on LinkedIn, you may have noticed that there are many recruiters out there. You may even have been approached by one. Recruiters are not career counsellors or career coaches. Recruiters are paid by employers to help employers find candidates who may fit their needs. It\u2019s your responsibility to know what you want to do and to tell the recruiter where you could fit into an organization and which jobs you want. \u00a0When your skills, experience, and interests align with roles that recruiters are trying to fill then they can be an effective ally.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><b>How Can a Career Coach or Career Counselor Help?<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Career coaching is different from career counselling. Career counsellors usually give clients tests and conduct assessments. In contrast, career coaches may avoid giving advice or telling clients what they should do. There is a lot of variation in approach, experience, and the service provider\u2019s track record so as with anything important, the expression \u201cbuyer beware\u201d applies. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ioadvisory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/adorable-adult-baby-1588081.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-10914\" src=\"https:\/\/ioadvisory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/adorable-adult-baby-1588081-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"mom gets ready to return to work\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ioadvisory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/adorable-adult-baby-1588081-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ioadvisory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/adorable-adult-baby-1588081-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ioadvisory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/adorable-adult-baby-1588081-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ioadvisory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/adorable-adult-baby-1588081-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/ioadvisory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/adorable-adult-baby-1588081-1600x1067.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>In my opinion, the stakes are high when a mom is considering this kind of transition. It\u2019s wise to find someone who you\u2019re comfortable with who also has adequate training and experience. When you scratch the surface, you\u2019ll learn that some career coaches and career counsellors have no recognizable training or their certification took weeks (not months or years). With or without official training or credentials, sometimes their life and work experience is a good prelude to their role as a career coach or a career counsellor. You\u2019ll need to evaluate this and see if it makes sense to you. Unlike law, medicine, psychology or engineering this is an unregulated profession so anyone can call themselves anything.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Therefore, look for someone able to effectively help you with the mechanics of improving your resume, your online presence, preparation for job interviews, and identifying concrete strategies for getting from where you are to where you want to be.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Besides recruiters and career coaches and career counsellors, there are plenty of useful online resources.
