How to get back to work after a career break

TED
Carol Fishman Cohen: How to get back to work after a career break
For you, the time will come when you have to take a career break or you might have taken it already. Although there are some reasons of a career break, returning to work is hard because of a disconnect between the employers and the relaunchers.
However, some employers started to have reentry internship programs, because they can decide permanent hiring decision after an actual work sample. It can remove some risk. They also knew that the internship system can attract excellent candidates who are turning into great hires.
Employers' current concerns are that relaunchers are technologically obsolete and they don't know what they want to do.
The relaunchers  have to show clearly where they can add the most value and have to get skills that employers expect. They also should read the business news. And then, the relaunchers have to get out of the house more and they don't hesitate to suggest an internship or equal systems if employers don't have it. You can be the example for more relaunchers to come.
