She’s Back – Your Guide To Returning To Work
By Lisa Unwin and Deb Khan
Based on empirical data collected by the authors, this book aims to show that women are both keen to return to the workplace and a necessary component of it. Prior to writing the book, the authors conducted research on 2000 women resulting in answers to a cumulative total of 40000 questions. That data was processed, leading to the results in their book.
She’s Back is not just a book of statistics; it also offers a lot of practical advice based on both women’s personal experiences and those of others gained through workshops and candid discussions.
There are three sections split into 17 chapters detailing the steps one needs to take in order to get back into, and remain inside, the modern workplace. Starting with your mindset, then moving into the practical tools of LinkedIn, CVs and networking, the book eventually details the tactics and strategies needed to successfully stay back once you’ve obtained that shiny new job.
Although aimed at women who want to return to work, the book is actually 300 pages of useful advice for anyone looking to enter today’s workforce. Don’t ignore it just because your gender does not match the cover.
