Returning from Leave
Coming back after time away — for a child, a family member, your own health — often means fighting a resume gap that says nothing about who you are or what you're capable of.
Build a reference-backed profile that shows employers what actually matters: how you work, not just when you worked. Your gap doesn't have to be the headline.
Say what you did in it in one line, such as caregiving, study, consulting or a project, and move on to your results.
Update your story, reconnect with former colleagues and apply to roles that fit what you can do now.
