I’m a former Business Analyst with 4 years of experience working with ADP in Tunisia. I’ve been a stay-at-home mom for the past 7 years, and now that my children are older, I’m actively working to relaunch my career here in the U.S.
Re-entering the job market has been tough, mainly due to the gap on my resume.
I’ve been learning on my own through Udemy, LinkedIn Learning. if you’ve been through a similar transition or work in hiring, I’d love to hear your thoughts.

Exactly the position I was in. Stay at home mom for a number of years and making the transition back to career life was difficult for me. I had to relearn a lot of just basic technical skills, working a computer again. Communicating professionally and to adults. Taking the time to get myself back up to speed helped.

Team Financial Planning Specialist or no?
My team is growing more and more to specializations with investment products. (Insurance, alts, ESG) I’ve been wondering if the Financial Planning role could also be a specialist in our client experience. We have two competing ideas; A financial planning specialist would be able to develop intimate familiarity with the planning software, processes, and human nuances. But would a newclient feel 'bait&switched’ to be handed off for this important process?
