This article asserts that re-entering the job market after taking a break to have children is not “the kiss of death [it was] a generation ago.” Still, experts interviewed for the article offer advice on how women can stay competitive: volunteer, consult, and/or keep in touch with your contacts. Finally, smaller companies, nonprofit institutions, and community groups tend to be more welcoming to returning mothers than larger companies.
