Ramp It Up Tip
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

Write a Letter to Yourself
As you wrap up your paid gig for awhile, write yourself a quick note to be opened on a specific date a few months before you return to work. In the note, jot down at least 3 options of where you'd like to see yourself go, career-wise, upon your return. When the time comes, use this letter to yourself as a springboard towards choosing your next career step.

E Tip: How to Efficiently Keep In Touch With Contacts
One of the greatest professional assets is who you know and who knows you. According to a study of over 600 MBA grads, with 56 % earning over $100,000, “Fifty-eight percent of respondents believe a person skilled at networking could see a ‘significant, substantial or dramatic’ impact on income — even up to a 100-percent increase.”
That means “soft work” like networking can have a pretty substantial ROI.
