VT: Why is the topic of Career Re-entry important to you?
SF: I have personally had to re-enter the workforce several
times in my career. As a single mom, I
stayed home with my son for the first 5 years of his life. He went to Kindergarten and I returned to
work. I have also been in transition due
to down turns in business. I pursued
networking opportunities though not always in my comfort zone. I met my current manager at a networking
event and was able to connect with her on a level that transcended my resume.

"mentally" prepared when you are searching for and interviewing for a
position.
SF: Continually take stock of your skills, abilities and passions. Set realistic expectations on compensation and schedules.
