Most of the women who come to me for job search advice have a basic LinkedIn profile so they have some kind of online professional presence, but what many women don't realise is that LinkedIn is an absolute essential in their career toolkit, especially when it comes to finding a new job.

Work Happy Mums is looking for a creative and dynamic marketing and communications professional to participate in a 12-week “returnship” programme. This opportunity is for experienced professionals returning to the workforce after taking time off for caregiving.
When you have an idea for a new business, you might feel like you have a lot more questions than answers. So I've put together a list of the most essential ones to ask yourself before you move forward.
So you have decided you want to create a work life that fits around the family and have a great business idea under your belt. Now what? How do you start out on your journey from mum to mumpreneur?
If one of your goals is to get back to work this autumn when the kids go back to school, now is a great time to get going with your planning. This way you can enjoy your summer while still making progress on your goals.
Here are 10 things you can do between now and the beginning of the holidays to get started on the right track and build positive momentum for your career reboot. I have been thinking about the little voices we live with in our heads telling us every day who we are, what we can do, and just as importantly, what we can’t. Yet while those stories we tell ourselves are often a long way from the truth, they have tremendous power to shape our lives if we choose to buy into them.
Mums The Word: Top 6 Reasons Why Taking A Break To Raise A Family Can Be Good For Your Career4/28/2017 We hear lots of stories about how starting a family works against a women’s career, but what about when it works in her favour? Our very first list in our new 'Mums The Word' series rounds up six out of the many benefits a career break can bring.
This week we’ve been thinking about self-care.
Helping professional women navigate career and family, and be the best they can be at work and at home, is at the heart of what we do at Work Happy Mums. How can we be our best selves when we are relentlessly pushing on through and running on an empty tank, when we are simply not taking good care of ourselves? So what is this “Mum Guilt” train and why are we all so keen to jump aboard it? This is the question I asked myself back when I sold my Recruitment Agency shares and started out as a Wellness Coach. As I began to create my own working hours on my own terms I realised how demanding the former years had been. I spent my first years as a mother juggling business ownership with motherhood.
Now that the holiday festivities have been and gone and the kids are back at school, it's a perfect time to give yourself some space to really think about your plans for the coming months. What do you really want in 2017?
