One of the biggest reasons for taking a career break among women is motherhood. Getting back into the job game is not easy. Most women struggle to restart their careers because of the gap in their resume.
The biggest challenge is finding jobs that are worth taking up. The ones with a fair compensation plan that allows you to maintain a work-life balance. Let me share a few go-to platforms with viable options for you to consider.
Opportunities to break your break!!
