Hi marketing people. So my wife graduated in 2017 with a marketing degree, but we got married and had kids straight away and she never worked in the field other than an internship during college. Now she’s thinking about joining the workforce and not sure where to begin. Any advice now that she’s 5 years out of school and missed the college grad to entry level marketing positions pipeline? Types of roles and companies she should look for/at?

And don’t underestimate how important the work your wife has been doing can be presented on her resume. Motherhood is both challenging and demanding. So a well-written narrative explaining the past five years and value it brings can carry weight if she targets creative roles / businesses.

There's always entry level positions for people with little to no experience. Especially in this market where companies are looking to pay less for labor. She can get in one of those for 6-12 months and then get something better. It's what I plan to do as well as someone wanting to transition from another field. I would say anything that isn't sales and more related to marketing analytics should be easier to get.

Many women leave the work force for a few years. It wouldn't hurt to contact a few recruiter's who might be able to help. I would also reach out to my network for anyone who might have an open role. Connections are always a good resource and if they can't help they might be able to refer your wife to someone.
