Going Back to Work : A Survival Guide for Comeback Moms

Summary: Lots of creative ideas and practical tips
Review: I really enjoyed this book and got lots of useful ideas from it. My toddler will be ready for preschool soon and I am faced with the usual dilemma of how to resume my career while balancing family responsibilities. I know I don't want to return the corporate hamster wheel, but I need to do something interesting and stimulating.

Quigley and Kaufman give plenty of examples of creative solutions to this dilemma and some very practical tips on how to get there. They start with how to make the decision to go back to work, how to decide what to do and how to win your family's support. They even cover resume writing, interviewing and handling difficult bosses.

I highly recommend this well-written book to anyone who is thinking about going back to work after having kids. I also think it should be required reading for HR managers.
