Hi, I am Smitha, based in Delhi NCR. I had a career break in my HR journey after 11 years of experience in various renowned companies due to some personal responsibilities.

I wish to get back to HR. I am sharing my LinkedIn profile for your kind perusal

Thanks for sharing your desire to get back into your career. I have delivered online training for a few women professionals, during and post covid about career reconnect, post wedding, post childbirth etc. We focus on a few things during my training session. These are: Knowledge updation... When I ask them questions on latest development in their domain, they drew a blank. Secondly, appearance. It is possible some people tend to put on additional weight during the break... so appearance, dressing up also matters a lot. Third will be staying or reconnecting with people in professional media. It is possible you may need a job in a new location, new industry etc. Have you fine-tuned your profile mentioning your expectations in the new situation. Best wishes

Wish you all the best for your 2nd innings.
I may even suggest, try to pursue teaching profession (for MBA/MSW) if you possess adequate edu.qualifications as you'll be able to combine work experience with ease in the stipulated curriculum. If any addl.qualifications are wanting you may try to acquire them in a matter of a year or two.
