The professional networking site LinkedIN has just added a new feature to its platform that allows users to pick “stay-at-home mom” or “stay-at-home dad as a job title on their profile. It is also adding “parental leave,” “family care,” and “sabbatical” options. This is terrific as it will explain perfectly normal gaps in people’s lives with a quick scan.
In addition to this good news for returning workers, many major companies are actively recruiting returning workers with special websites such as Dell Technologies “Restart” program: https://jobs.dell.com/restart. AARP also does a wonderful job with assisting workers over 50 on-ramp back into the workforce : https://www.aarp.org/work/job-search/job-seeker/.
With the Post-Covid job growth in full swing, now is an excellent time to be searching! Let’s write that resume, update LinkedIN and get you back out there!
