Returning to work after a career break is daunting. Returners worry that their skills may be out of date, or that employers will insist on having them full time in the office. In fact, companies are becoming more and more receptive to career-breakers: offering both formal “returnships” and rolling out flexible working.

Drawing on hundreds of case studies, Julianne Miles MBE discusses returnships (mid-career internships), strategic volunteering, networking and a variety of non-standard job-hunting techniques which returners have used successfully.
