This review is from: Your Career OnRamp (Paperback)

After taking 7 years off to raise my two children, the thought of returning to the work world was at the very least daunting!
I read this book and was truly inspired. It was the most useful book I have read in years. It is designed to be informative but it also has the benefits of being a workbook that give you significant tools for your launch back into the world of paid work! I found it to be extremely positive and motivational and at the same time highly practical.
I was able to zip right through it and now use it on a regular basis to aid my daily efforts in finding work that is just right for my lifestyle.
I felt a bit timid about on ramping...but now with the help of this great book, I feel a great amount of courage! Well worth the purchase! It is one that I won't lend out, will refer back to it often!

This is a small book chocked full of information, exercises and encouragment for professional women returning to the workforce after taking timeo off to stay home with their kids. As a mother myself, I like that is clearly written, succinct and gets right to the point. The authors clearly understand their audience.

One of the hardest things for moms today is to make that choice to jump back into the workforce. It can be so scary and challenging! This book makes the idea of going back to work approachable and helps you lay out a plan that feels actionable. Through self assessments, it allows you to really figure out what job is right for you-- then helps you build your resume and set concrete goals.
A must for all moms considering heading back in the working world!
