Update your resume. Go through your resume to accentuate the positives. If you have access to career counseling, take your resume in for an expert’s opinion. Perhaps a career counselor can give you pointers about your resume.
6. Prepare for job interviews. Invest in a new suit or business clothes. If there are any classes on interviewing skills taught in your community, take them. A little preparation goes a long way in an interview.
7. Use connections. Let’s face it; sometimes it’s who you know. Often the best way to re-enter the workforce is to contact former bosses and colleagues, and use networking to find out where the opportunities are.
