I took over a year off when I had my baby and I was so nervous about going back. It was a weird first week but after that, it felt like I had never left. This job market is terrible and finding work is not easy though, so reach out to everyone in your network and let them know that you are looking for work.

How long have you been off for? Best thing I can say is just jump in feet first. Eventually it will feel like you never left.
