Abigail-

These are good questions and we can provide you with some guidance.  However, we need more information in order to do so.

How long have you been out of the workforce?   Have you done any part time work while on leave?  What kind of volunteer work have you done in the past 3-5 years?  What are your skills and competencies?  What was your career track?  What is your training?  In which industries have you worked or volunteered ?  

Take a look at some of the tools in the area Looking for Work that might help you start to assess your skills and gather up your experiences to share with us. 

Looking forward to hearing from you and guiding your next steps.
