Back on the Career Track: A Guide for Stay-At-Home Moms Who Want to Return to Work is a comprehensive, inspiring, step-by-step guide offering strategy and advice for the millions of stay-at-home moms who want to return to the workforce successfully. It was published in hardcover in June 2007 and in paperback in August 2008.

Returning to the workforce can be a daunting job for at-home moms. It requires re-igniting old contacts, waging an effective marketing campaign, and battling the diminished self image that plagues most women who have been off the career track – whether it’s been two, six, or 15 years. Carol Fishman Cohen and Vivian Steir Rabin understand, because they’ve been there. And as women who have successfully relaunched their careers, they know it can be done – with careful planning, strategizing, and creativity. Now, in BACK ON THE CAREER TRACK, they offer a prescriptive, seven-step program that covers such topics as building confidence, assessing career options, updating professional skills, preparing for interviews, getting the family on board, networking ….and much more. Cohen and Rabin rely not only on their own experiences, but on in depth interviews with over 100 women who have successfully resumed their careers, including inspirational relaunchers such as Retired Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor (yes, she took a five year break to be home with her sons early in her career).

Besides the millions of stay-at-home moms now focused on the issue of returning to work, employers are beginning to embrace stay-at-home moms as a viable hiring source. The authors make the case for why employers should hire from the stay-at-home pool and profile some of the efforts by cutting-edge U.S. employers to pursue and engage this talent.

The book concludes with a comprehensive list of online resources, books and sample resumes essential for stay-at-home moms seeking to return to work. For more information, visit the Hachette Book Group website.
