Are you a Mom thinking of returning to work who wonders...

 

Will I be able to find a job or business opportunity in line with my experience? 

What is the best way to position myself  on my resume and during the job interview?

How do I find flexible or family-friendly jobs?

Is it feasible to work at home as a professional?

I've been talking about this forever  -- why is it taking me so long to do something about it? 

 

Sound familiar?  You're not alone!

 

Welcome, I'm Nancy Collamer M.S., Career Coach and Founder of the award-winning website, Jobsandmoms.com.  For the past ten years, through my private consulting, group presentations and as the online career expert for some of the biggest sites on the Internet (like Oprah Winfrey's Oxygen.com and Clubmom.com), I’ve had the privilege of interacting with thousands of women, just like you, who are eager to find meaningful work options after staying home with children. 

 

Thanks to the success of my clients, I've learned what works and what doesn't, the best ways to navigate around the "landmines" of the job search, and the most important things you need to know to jumpstart your "I'm ready to start earning money again" plans out of neutral and into fast-forward.

 

I've enjoyed sharing my success strategies in loads of the big national magazines (see the bottom of this page for links to some of those stories). But, until recently, the only way you could access the full range of my "back-to-work" expertise was through my private coaching services. 

Now, you can take advantage of this invaluable information!

 

Whether you're a mom just beginning to consider your options, a woman looking for quality flexible work, or a mom who is returning to work in the next few months, this toolkit is for you!

 

Here's what you'll receive in the toolkit:

1.  The Guide 

The central piece of the toolkit is an instantly downloadable 91-page guide that contains all of the hands-on, how-to information that I've used successfully with my private clients. 

This information-rich book is exclusively written for professional level moms who want to return to paid employment (or entrepreneurship) and is filled with ideas that are specific, detailed and simple to implement. 

It not only covers the "what-to-do" but the "how to do it."  Unlike general job search books, the advice, resources and strategies in this book are all customized to meet the unique needs -- and challenges -- faced by moms returning to work, either as employees or as home-based entrepreneurs.  

You'll learn how to:

  • Create a winning "back to work" resume and cover letter 

  • Uncover the secrets to finding family-friendly, work-at-home and flexible work options (lots of resources included with this one)

  • Discover smart alternatives to the traditional 9-5 employment model

  • Find the answers to dozens of questions about the back-to-work search.  Everything ranging from "What do I wear to the interview?" to "Where on the resume do I list my volunteer experience?" to  "How do I network when I've been home for so long?" 

  • Better manage your time and make space for this project (in your already overbooked life)

  • Figure out what you really want...and how to get it

  • Find out the smartest ways to use the internet in your job search or to research work-at-home alternatives

  • Package and position yourself so employers will really "get" what you can do for them (and compensate you accordingly)

  • Determine what to say (and what not to say) during the re-entry job interview

  • Establish your market value and negotiate like a pro to earn what you deserve

  • Enlist the support of your family to ensure a successful transition back into the world of paid employment

  • Dig yourself out of the quicksand, overcome your doubts and move forward with confidence

It's all there...and more.  With this guide, you'll have the tools you'll need to get the job done -- with confidence, energy and commitment.

"I’ll recommend the The Toolkit to all the re-entering alumna I work with – it’s so practical, comprehensive, and easy to use!  I love the highlighted tips and worksheets. You didn’t miss a thing – from wardrobe to resumes to making a smooth transition – it’s all there.  Finally -- there’s a how-to guide dedicated to moms whose priorities are shifting back to include paid work.  Congratulations on another great publication!" --Connie English, Co-Director of Darden Alumni Career Services at The University of Virginia

2. Mini-Classes with the Experts

The guide is a one-of-a-kind invaluable aid to moms who want to go back to work or find work-at-home options.  But just to help make this toolkit extra valuable, I asked some of the country's leading career experts, all of whom happen to be working moms, to join in on this project.  When you purchase this product, you'll get to enjoy five, 30-minute audio-classes that are sure to inspire, entertain and leave you feeling, "I really can do this."  

You are not going to want to miss out on these dynamic women's wit, wisdom and unique perspectives.   Here is a brief look at what's covered during these mini-classes:

 

JOB SEARCH STRATEGIES

Tory Johnson, founder and CEO of Women for Hire  and the Workplace Contributor on ABC’s Good Morning America, provides her best job search tips for Comeback Moms.  You'll be sure to enjoy Tory's observations about trends in the workplace and how they directly impact professional level women who want to re-enter the workplace.

 

 

CREATE YOUR OWN BUSINESS

Ellen Parlapiano, co-author of the best-selling books, Mompreneurs® and Mompreneurs Online®, and co-founder of the website Mompreneursonline, shares her strategies for brainstorming a winning home-based business.  This interview is filled with inspirational examples of other moms who have successfully transitioned into mompreneurship.

 

 

HOW TO MAKE THE LEAP FROM CORPORATE TO THE RIGHT SMALL BUSINESS

Ginny Wilmerding, author of the new book, Smart Women and Small Business  shares her expertise on entrepreneurial options that go beyond starting your own business, including how to buy an independent business or a franchise, direct sales, consulting for small businesses, or working with partners.  If you lack an original business idea, this interview will get you excited about pursuing a business idea other than your own.

PART-TIME WORK OPTIONS

Lynn Berger, Career Counselor and Author of the newly released book, The Savvy Part-Time Professional, shares her insights on how to find, create and thrive in a part-time work situation.  Learn about the new and exciting developments in the fast-changing world of part-time work options.

 

 

NOT SURE WHAT YOU WANT?

If, like many Comeback Moms, you're just not sure what you really want to do (or what you're good at) then you're bound to enjoy my conversation with Career Counselor and Resume Writer, Linsey Levine.  We'll discuss our favorite resources and strategies for making the journey from "I don't have a clue what I want to do" to "I love my work."  

Listening to these mini-classes is a breeze!  Unlike attending a conventional workshop, when you have to hire a babysitter so you can get to class for a specific date and time, you'll be able to listen to the mini-classes 24/7, whenever it's most convenient for you.  Simply tune into the interviews by going to a web page and clicking on a button. Just to show you how easy it is, click on the black arrow below to hear a two-minute clip of my interview with Good Morning America's workplace contributor,Tory Johnson:

Still undecided?

I know right about now some of you are thinking, "Can't I do this on my own?" And, you know what?  It's not a bad thought because my guess is, sooner or later, six months -- a year -- or a few years from now, you probably can.  

But, will you? If you're serious about making this a priority and if you have the time and energy to find all the resources I've already collected and tested out for you, then by all all means keep plugging away on your own.

If, on the other hand, you know that in spite of your best efforts, you haven't gotten as far as you thought you would on your own,  I do ask you to consider the cost of time (and the continued loss of income during the interim) before you click off this page.  It has taken me a decade of consulting with hundreds of moms and reading countless books on this subject to develop this toolkit.  

Wouldn't you rather take a shortcut and learn what works - stop spinning your wheels - and start earning an income, sooner rather than later?  

I invite you to take charge of your future now and place your order today!
