Network, Network, Network!

If you are just starting to think about on-ramping and are unsure about the direction that you want to go, start talking to everyone and anyone about what they do or have done professionally (talk to people at the park, in the gym, at the kids’ school, moms’ groups, everywhere you go).   Everyone has a story -  you will be amazed at the professional diversity that you’ll find within your community circle.  In addition to learning about the various careers, you will secondarily start building your “go-to” network as your interest becomes clearer.
