Hi folks,

My wife took 3 years career break for a personal reason. She is having one year work experience in the embedded systems.

She is trying to re-enter into the software engineering, but her resume is not getting selected for the interview (for both internship or Entry level jobs). She had mentioned the career break in the resume and cover letter. Currently, she is doing online university courses and projects to keep herself relevant to the industry. But she is not having luck so far to get any internship or Entry level job interview calls.

Any suggestions on how to prepare the resume and cover letter with career break ?

    Facebook has a hiring program specifically for people who are returning to work from a break. Try applying there?

      Building a remote team for now will consider PT if she’s qualified in one of the above skills

    Same boat. Though i was on break for 1 year. Will likely extend to another year. So two years break due to family leave and visa issues. Must be understandable right? Will try to apply after babys birth and taking a nice maternity leave. :)

    Moody’s has a program called Reignite specifically for this case, but I believe they are not accepting apps at the moment. If your wife finds something on Moody’s, let me know!
