Choosing to go back to work may seem like an even bigger challenge, as you consider all the emotional and financial variables. As you begin your job search, make a list of things that you believe are requirements for your new job and a separate list of &#8220;nice to haves&#8221;. Evaluating the questions listed below, before you begin your search, will help you stay on track and find a job that is perfectly suited for you and your family.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Work Schedule<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Are you looking for a part-time or full-time job? What hours are you willing and\/or able to work? Do you need to find a job that enables you to leave on time every day or is some overtime acceptable? If full-time, should your hours be 9-5, 8-4 or 7-3?<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Time Off<\/span><\/p>\n<p>How important is vacation and sick time? Does the company offer personal time so that when your child is ill, you don&#8217;t have to take vacation days off? If your child is ill within the first six months, will you be able to take the time off, even if it&#8217;s unpaid?<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Career Growth or Stability<\/span><\/p>\n<p>If you were in a high level, demanding position before you became a parent, are you ready to assume that level of responsibility again? Or, would you rather find a stable position that you enjoy, but one that does not require as much effort or attention outside the office?<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Work Location<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Do you need to find a job close to home? Should you look for jobs where you can telecommute daily or once a week?<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Child Care<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Have you found someone responsible to take care of your child so that you can be worry free once you get back to work and have the emotional &amp; mental stamina that it requires?<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Compensation<\/span><\/p>\n<p>How important is the compensation offered for the position? Should your salary be equal to or above the cost of daycare, or are you simply going back to work for personal career development? Does the position need to come with benefits?<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Interviewing Skills<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Are you ready to start interviewing or are you a bit rusty? Do you have someone available to help point out your blind spots? Are you confident that you have prepared your answers to the more difficult questions? Contact me for assistance with all of the above!<\/p>\n<p>When going back to work, there are so many variables to consider. Only after you have answered the questions above, and any other ones that you come up with, will you then be really be ready to start on your job search journey.
