Going back after 5 months at home - 5 months and counting

I stepped out for 5 months to care for a family member and now want to return. I am in Albuquerque, in case local advice matters. I have been taking an online course. Are there returnship programmes?

I began with part-time temp work, which helped me get back into the rhythm.

Be straightforward about the break and focus on what you bring now.
