Return to the paid workforce: Shannon's Story
Show Notes

8 years ago, Shannon made a big decision to become a stay-at-home mom, and while being on-call 24 hours a day chasing three kids was a lot of hard work, she loved it. Being home with her kids was fun and she was great at it!


Now her youngest is starting kindergarten and Shannon and her family have decided that this is a good time for her to return to work. It makes sense financially, and Shannon is excited about having something that is all hers. At the same time, a return to the paid workforce is scary and she doesn’t know where to start.


There is so much we can talk about with a return to the paid workforce, but understanding where to start is one of the biggest questions we get at Next Chapter Careers. Join Becca and Marie to talk about the mistakes to avoid and the first steps to take to move forward.
