HitEnter: Stories from the Inbox

Have you ever had to reinvent your career, or wish you could? In today’s episode, we explore the topic of career reinvention. People re-entering the workforce after an extended absence find it challenging to overcome certain stigmas with career gaps. While others dream about changing careers, but can’t fathom starting all over. We hear from people who are re-entering the paid workforce after years of caregiving, and their personal experience joining a paid mid-career internship.  We also hear from a few organizations that provides men and women the skills and confidence needed after deciding to re-enter the workforce, and one that is on a mission to help companies start their own return-to-work programs. A man shares his personal reinvention experience about a growing trend - stay-at-home dads. And one person tells us what it’s like to completely change careers and start from completely from scratch after decades doing the same career. Our guests include: Kendra Prospero, Carol Fishman Cohen, Tami Forman, Becky Early, Pamela Adams, Paul Chamberlain, John Modzelewski, and Caron Schwartz.
