For Moms Going Back to Work - A Contest!

Are you a blogging SAHM or WAHM who's thinking about returning to work outside the home? Then you may want to enter my contest to win Back on the Career Track: A Guide for Stay-at-Home Moms Who Want to Return to Work, a book offering strategy and advice to women resuming careers after extended time at home with children by Carol Fishman Cohen and Vivian Steir Rabin.

Returning to the workforce can be a daunting job for full-time moms. It requires reigniting old contacts (including co-workers who were once their junior), marketing themselves strategically, and battling the diminished self-image that plagues most women who have been off the career track—whether it's been two, six, or 15 years. Carol Fishman Cohen and Vivian Steir Rabin understand, because they've been there.

As women who have successfully relaunched their careers, they know it can be done with careful planning, strategizing, and creativity. Now, in Back on the Career Track, they offer a prescriptive, seven-step program that covers such topics as building confidence, assessing career options, updating job skills, preparing for interviews, getting the family on board, networking, and much more. (For more information, please visit www.backonthecareertrack.com.)

Interested in winning a free copy of the book? See the rules below:

1. Post about the contest on your blog and link back to this post. You have from today until Tuesday, June 12, 2007 at midnight MT to do so. If you don't have a blog, you are not eligible to enter. Sorry. (Maybe this will give you the incentive to start one!)
2. Come back to A Mama's Rant and post the weblink (the link to the actual post) in the comments section below along with your email and blog address.
3. I'll randomly pick the winner and contact them via email for their name and mailing address.
4. The winner will be announced on this blog on Friday, June 15. I will mail out the book via USPS Media Mail by Monday, June 18.
5. Please do not enter this contest if you are unwilling to email me your name and mailing address. I promise NOT to release your private info to the public.
6. This contest is open to bloggers in the continental U.S. only due to postage costs and previous hassles with customs.

If you have any questions, email me. And yes, the nice publisher sent me the book for promotional purposes. But since I don't need it, I thought I'd give it to someone who could use it.
