Tackle when, where and most importantly how you should return to work.

Are you a Stay at Home mom considering returning to work?  
The question is not as easy at it appears, especially if you've been out of the workforce for some time. In fact, it's one of the biggest concerns I've heard from local moms.

Through a series of probing questions, insightful feedback, career tips and tools, Achieve Life Balance walks you through the process of determining whether returning to work is the best choice for you and your family, and how to achieve the best work/life balance possible.  Here are just a few of the issues we tackle in our Career Exploration Package:

-Why do you want to return to work? The answer is often not as simple as you think.

-What will it cost you to return to work? Costs include monetary, time and satisfaction considerations.

-How much do you need to earn to make it worthwhile?  Know your minimum requirements.

-What type of industry is best for you? Should you return to your previous career, jump start a new one, or recreate yourself?

Other considerations: 

-Are your skills up to date?
-How can you stay relevant, while you're staying at home?
-What are your fears that might sabotage your search?
-How will you manage your work/life balance?
-How will you handle emergencies? 
-What type of job should you seek?
-What type of industry is best for you? 
-Flexible options, including working at home, freelancing and owning a business
