Difficult Conversations in Career Reentry: Explaining the Gap

Wednesday, May 3, 2017
Presented by: Carol Fishman Cohen, CEO and Co-founder of iRelaunch

Are you planning a reentry to the workforce after being on a career break for an extended period of time? Then you likely understand that navigating the networking and interviewing process is entirely different than the standard job search.
The pain points for returning professionals when interviewing or simply interacting with practitioners in their targeted fields usually center around how to discuss "the gap", and how to deal with veiled references to age, such as "you seem really overqualified for that role."
Carol, who is a long-time career reentry expert, will discuss recommended language for these kinds of conversations, and will also include discussion of how to suggest an internship or internship-like experience when speaking with a skeptical hiring manager. Carol was just named to the Thinkers50 On the Radar 2017 list of the 30 management thinkers most likely to shape the future of how organizations are managed and led.
