03:15
but I want to share with you
a discovery that I made

59
183320
2429
但我想先跟各位分享，
在我離開全職工作後的11年，
當我再回去工作後的一個發現。
當我再回去工作後的一個發現。
03:17
when I was returning to work
60
185773
1723
03:19
after my own career break of 11 years
out of the full-time workforce.
out of the full-time workforce.
61
187520
4096
03:23
And that is, that people's view of you
is frozen in time.
is frozen in time.
62
191640
5240
就是，人們對你的印象
是停留在以前的狀況。
是停留在以前的狀況。
03:29
What I mean by this is,
when you start to get in touch with people
when you start to get in touch with people
63
197320
3656
我的意思是，
當你再次開始與人打交道，
當你再次開始與人打交道，
03:33
and you get back in touch
with those people from the past,
with those people from the past,
64
201000
2736
並與過去這些人連絡上後，
03:35
the people with whom you worked
or went to school,
or went to school,
65
203760
3256
像是，在你離職前的
工作夥伴、上學的同學
工作夥伴、上學的同學
03:39
they are going to remember you as you were
66
207040
2736
他們對你的印象
就是停留在
你離職前的狀況。
你離職前的狀況。
03:41
before your career break.
67
209800
1816
03:43
And that's even if your sense of self
has diminished over time,
has diminished over time,
68
211640
3496
就算你的自信心
隨著時間已經消失了，
隨著時間已經消失了，
03:47
as happens with so many of us
69
215160
2096
我們很多人都會有
一樣的狀況，
一樣的狀況，
03:49
the farther removed we are
from our professional identities.
from our professional identities.
70
217280
3896
時間越久遠，我們對我們的
專業認同會越沒信心。
專業認同會越沒信心。
03:53
So for example,
you might think of yourself
you might think of yourself
71
221200
2696
舉例，你可能會認為你自己
03:55
as someone who looks like this.
72
223920
1480
像是這樣的一個人。
03:57
This is me, crazy after a day
of driving around in my minivan.
of driving around in my minivan.
73
225800
4296
這就是我，開了一天小麵包車，
整個人感覺很瘋狂。
整個人感覺很瘋狂。
04:02
Or here I am in the kitchen.
74
230120
2200
或者，這是我在廚房裡的樣子。
04:04
But those people from the past,
75
232760
2536
但這些過去的朋友，
04:07
they don't know about any of this.
76
235320
2216
他們對這些一無所知。
04:09
They only remember you as you were,
77
237560
2536
他們只記得你以前的樣子，
04:12
and it's a great confidence boost
to be back in touch with these people
to be back in touch with these people
78
240120
4176
當你重新與這些人接觸後，
就會大大地增加了自信心，
就會大大地增加了自信心，
04:16
and hear their enthusiasm
about your interest in returning to work.
about your interest in returning to work.
79
244320
3640
而且他們對你有再從業的興趣
感到非常的開心。
感到非常的開心。
04:21
There's one more thing I remember vividly
from my own career break.
from my own career break.
80
249440
4096
從我離職後，
有一件事，我印象很深刻。
有一件事，我印象很深刻。
04:25
And that was that I hardly kept up
with the business news.
with the business news.
81
253560
3375
我當時幾乎跟不上
財經新聞的腳步。
財經新聞的腳步。
04:28
My background is in finance,
82
256959
1617
我的背景雖然是財經，
04:30
and I hardly kept up with any news
83
258600
2416
但當我在家裡
照顧四個孩子時，
照顧四個孩子時，
04:33
when I was home caring
for my four young children.
for my four young children.
84
261040
2936
我卻幾乎
跟不上任何新聞。
跟不上任何新聞。
04:36
So I was afraid I'd go into an interview
85
264000
3376
所以我很害怕，
自己去參加面試的時候，
自己去參加面試的時候，
04:39
and start talking about a company
that didn't exist anymore.
that didn't exist anymore.
86
267400
3360
會講到一個
已經不存在的公司。
已經不存在的公司。
04:43
So I had to resubscribe
to the Wall Street Journal
to the Wall Street Journal
87
271200
3536
所以，我必須重新
訂閱華爾街日報，
訂閱華爾街日報，
04:46
and read it for a good six months
cover to cover before I felt
cover to cover before I felt
88
274760
3456
然後每一本從頭到尾好好地
連續看了六個月，
連續看了六個月，
04:50
like I had a handle on what was going on
in the business world again.
in the business world again.
89
278240
3920
之後我才覺得自己
對財經又有點解了。
對財經又有點解了。
04:55
I believe relaunchers
are a gem of the workforce,
are a gem of the workforce,
90
283880
3656
我相信重新出發者
是職場上的一顆鑽石。
是職場上的一顆鑽石。
04:59
and here's why.
91
287560
1736
原因如下。
05:01
Think about our life stage:
92
289320
1816
想一下我們的人生階段：
05:03
for those of us who took career breaks
for childcare reasons,
for childcare reasons,
93
291160
3656
我們這些因為要照顧
小孩子而離職的人，
小孩子而離職的人，
05:06
we have fewer or no maternity leaves.
94
294840
1976
大都沒有產假，
或是產假很短。
或是產假很短。
05:08
We did that already.
95
296840
1496
我們也是這樣度過了。
05:10
We have fewer spousal
or partner job relocations.
or partner job relocations.
96
298360
3336
我們也經歷過一些
配偶或夥伴的調職。
配偶或夥伴的調職。
05:13
We're in a more settled time of life.
97
301720
2456
我們在生命中
已經處理安置過很多事。
已經處理安置過很多事。
05:16
We have great work experience.
98
304200
1816
我們有很好的工作經驗。
05:18
We have a more mature perspective.
99
306040
2016
我們有更成熟的眼光。
05:20
We're not trying to find ourselves
at an employer's expense.
at an employer's expense.
100
308080
3576
我們不用再花雇主的成本
來嘗試尋找自我的定位。
來嘗試尋找自我的定位。
05:23
Plus we have an energy,
an enthusiasm about returning to work
an enthusiasm about returning to work
101
311680
4216
加上因為我們
已經離開一陣子，
已經離開一陣子，
05:27
precisely because we've been
away from it for a while.
away from it for a while.
102
315920
2920
我們對重返職場
充滿著一股熱情的能量。
充滿著一股熱情的能量。
05:31
On the flip side, I speak with employers,
103
319600
2616
另一方面，
我跟雇主談話時，
我跟雇主談話時，
05:34
and here are two concerns
that employers have
that employers have
104
322240
2536
雇主對聘雇重新出發者
05:36
about hiring relaunchers.
105
324800
1896
有兩個主要考量點。
05:38
The first one is, employers
are worried that relaunchers
are worried that relaunchers
106
326720
3056
第一，雇主擔心重新出發者，
05:41
are technologically obsolete.
107
329800
2040
有技術上的銜接問題。
現在，我可以告訴你，
05:44
Now, I can tell you,
108
332400
1256
05:45
having been technologically
obsolete myself at one point,
obsolete myself at one point,
109
333680
3576
因為這方面
我已經經歷過了，
我已經經歷過了，
05:49
that it's a temporary condition.
110
337280
1680
這只是暫時性的。
05:51
I had done my financial analysis
so long ago that I used Lotus 1-2-3.
so long ago that I used Lotus 1-2-3.
111
339520
6136
很久以前我做財務分析時
用的是Lotus 1-2-3。
用的是Lotus 1-2-3。
05:57
I don't know if anyone
can even remember back that far,
can even remember back that far,
112
345680
2936
我不知道還有沒有人記得
這個很久以前的軟體。
這個很久以前的軟體。
06:00
but I had to relearn it on Excel.
113
348640
2216
所以，我必須重新學習Excel，
06:02
It actually wasn't that hard.
A lot of the commands are the same.
A lot of the commands are the same.
114
350880
3080
它實際上沒這麼難，
因為很多指令都是相同的。
因為很多指令都是相同的。
06:06
I found PowerPoint much more challenging,
115
354600
2216
我發現Power Point
比較有挑戰性，
比較有挑戰性，
06:08
but now I use PowerPoint all the time.
116
356840
2160
但現在我對PowerPoint
駕輕就熟。
駕輕就熟。
06:11
I tell relaunchers that employers
expect them to come to the table
expect them to come to the table
117
359960
4656
我告訴重新出發者，
雇主希望他們
雇主希望他們
要有基本的辦公室管理軟體的知識，
好應付每天的工作。
好應付每天的工作。
06:16
with a working knowledge
of basic office management software.
of basic office management software.
118
364640
3496

and the employer does not have to make
that permanent hiring decision

167
523559

而且雇主也不用在實習期間
08:59
until the internship period is over.
168

2800
做出雇用正式員工的決策。
09:02
This testing out period

09:17
Before this, most employers

09:22
But now, not only
are programs being developed

09:26
specifically with relaunchers in mind,

but you can't even apply
for these programs

如果你簡歷上沒有一段空檔期，
09:31
unless you have a gap on your résumé.
179
559520
2680
你還不能申請這些項目呢！
09:34
This is the mark of real change,

So let me tell you
what happened with Tracy Shapiro.

189

2456
10:04
Remember that she had to tell
everyone she knew

592880
2576
還記得她必須
告訴每個她認識的人

10:07
about her interest in returning to work.
191
595480
2000
有關於她有興趣
重返職場的事嗎？

10:09
Well, one critical conversation
with another parent in her community

192
597800
4176
是的，她與社區裡的長輩
進行的一次關鍵談話中，
進行的一次關鍵談話中，
10:14
led to a job offer for Tracy,
193

2096
為崔西帶來了

10:16
and it was an accounting job

604120
2776
那是一個在
財務部門的會計工作。
財務部門的會計工作。
10:18
But it was a temp job.
195
606920
1320
但那是暫時性的工作。
10:20
The company told her
there was a possibility

196
608800
2456
公司告訴她，
有機會可以轉成某個

10:23
it could turn into something more,
but no guarantees.

197
611280
3536
10:26
This was in the fall of 2011.
198
614840
2360
當時是2011年的秋天。
崔西很愛這家公司
也很愛她的同事，
也很愛她的同事，
10:29
Tracy loved this company,
and she loved the people
and she loved the people
199

10:32
and the office was less
than 10 minutes from her house.

200
620760
3056
而且公司離她家
距離不到10分鐘。
距離不到10分鐘。
10:35
So even though she had a second job offer
201
623840
2216
所以即使她在另一家公司
有一個資深工作的機會，
有一個資深工作的機會，
10:38
at another company
for a permanent full-time role,
for a permanent full-time role,
202
626080

可以給她一個
永久、全職的保證。
永久、全職的保證。
10:41
she decided to take her chances
with this internship
with this internship
203
629000
3216
她還是決定要接受
這個實習工作的機會。
這個實習工作的機會。
10:44
and hope for the best.
204
632240
1760
並期望可以達到最佳狀態。
最後，她跌破大家的眼鏡，
10:47
Well, she ended up blowing away
all of their expectations,
all of their expectations,
205
635320
3056
10:50
and the company not only
made her a permanent offer
made her a permanent offer
206
638400
2496
那一家公司在2012年初，
10:52
at the beginning of 2012,
207
640920
2096
不僅給她一個正式員工的職位，
10:55
but they made it even more
interesting and challenging,

208
643040
2616
甚至讓她的工作變的
更有趣、更具挑戰性，
更有趣、更具挑戰性，
10:57
because they knew what Tracy could handle.
209
645680
2120
因為他們知道
崔西可以辦得到。
崔西可以辦得到。
11:00
Fast forward to 2015,
210
648400
2456
時間快進到2015年，
11:02
Tracy's been promoted.
211

崔西被晉升了。
11:04
They've paid for her

11:06
She's even hired another relauncher
to work for her.

213
654920
3320
她甚至雇用了另一個
重新出發者替她工作。
重新出發者替她工作。
11:11
Tracy's temp job was a tryout,
214
659840
3376
崔西的短期工作
只是一個嘗試。
只是一個嘗試。
11:15
just like an internship,
215
663240
1656
雖然像是一個實習生，
11:16
and it ended up being a win
for both Tracy and her employer.
for both Tracy and her employer.
216
664920
5240
但最後證明，那份短期工作是
她和雇主雙贏的開始。
她和雇主雙贏的開始。
11:23
Now, my goal is to bring
the reentry internship concept

217
671600
4376
我的目標是將這種
再從業實習的概念，
再從業實習的概念，
11:28
to more and more employers.
218
676000
2736
推薦給更多更多的雇主。
11:30
But in the meantime,
219
678760
1816
但是與此同時，
11:32
if you are returning to work
after a career break,

220
680600
3216
如果你離職一段時間後
想重返職場，

11:35
don't hesitate to suggest an internship
or an internship-like arrangement

and you can be the example
for more relaunchers to come.

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Carol F. Cohen - CEO and co-founder, iRelaunchCarol Fishman Cohen documents successful transitions back into the workforce after career breaks.
Why you should listen
Carol Fishman Cohen is CEO and co-founder of iRelaunch, a comprehensive career reentry resource for employers, individuals, universities and professional associations. Cohen has been on a dual mission for nearly 15 years: to elevate the profile and champion the success of professionals returning to the workforce after a career break, and to educate and support employers that engage with return-to-work talent. Her goal is to normalize the career path that includes a career break and document successful transitions back into the workforce so that employers understand the value proposition that returning professionals provide.
Cohen is the co-author of career reentry strategy book Back on the Career Track and a returning professional herself. Her return to work at Bain Capital after 11 years out of the full-time workforce is documented in a Harvard Business School case study. She has connected with thousands of professionals who have successfully returned to work after a hiatus, and she has engaged with hundreds of hiring managers to understand their perspectives on hiring people returning from career break.
iRelaunch's flagship event, the annual iRelaunch Return-to-Work Conference in New York City, is the leading external source of candidates for the major Wall Street reentry internship programs and is the largest and longest-running dedicated career reentry event in the United States. Cohen has been tracking career reentry programs of all types since 2008 and writes a series of articles for Harvard Business Review on the theme "The 40-Year-Old Intern." She originated and co-leads the Society of Women Engineers/iRelaunch STEM Reentry Task Force, an initiative to increase the pipeline of female engineers via reentry internship programs at STEM sector companies.
