It is difficult to return to work after a long break, and even more difficult after maternity leave. The feeling that all skills are lost, not only professional, but also personal, up to the ability to choose shoes for a bag, a blouse for a suit, does not let go. In addition, there are some doubts about the ability to conduct business negotiations, because at work, no one is interested in the topics of the first teeth, vaccinations, adaptation to kindergarten.

Step 1
If your decision to go to work is final, you are faced with the next step - to determine how to deal with your child. There are several options: entrust the child to a nanny, send to kindergarten or grandparents. It is necessary to carefully weigh everything in advance and answer the following questions: who will take and pick up the child from the kindergarten, who will take care of the child if he suddenly gets sick and many other nuances. There are many nuances, so it is worth treating them responsibly and carefully.
Step 2
Return to the previous place of work. It is this decision that a young mother most often makes, if the maternity leave went smoothly, mutually on both sides, she is expected at the same workplace. And then everything is fine, because it is stupid to leave where you are welcome. Even so, you may not always be able to avoid unforeseen situations. There have been many changes during your absence from work. Half of the team has changed, the former leader has been promoted, the dress code has changed, and so on. But this is not a reason to panic. There is always a way out of the situation. The main thing is a positive attitude. Show interest in the new team, let the acquaintance pass with smiles and mutual respect, then your colleagues will appreciate your zeal and show understanding and help.
Step 3
If you decide to look for a new place of work for yourself, prepare for meetings with your superiors. At the interview, it is important to note that there will be someone to look after the child, that during maternity leave you were engaged in self-development, followed the latest in your professional field, attended courses, trainings, etc. The result will depend on how convincing you are in your arguments. And the main thing is not to give up, even if a refusal is received in this position in a particular company. Remember, the time will come, and there will be a place of work that will be "family" for you.
