After four years away from work across two maternity leaves, Hellen knew one thing, she didn’t want to go back to the City.
She had a background in finance and some technical exposure, but not in Salesforce, and not in a role that could work around family life anymore.
Then she opened an email she’d almost deleted in her junk folder.
That moment led her to retrain, and today she works fully remotely as a Salesforce Consultant in a flexible role that fits her life and uses the skills she already had.
In this honest and practical conversation on Tuesday 24th February at 8pm, Katy from Flexible Working People talks to Hellen about:
– The mental shift after a long career break
– Why returning to your old role isn’t always the right answer
– Turning previous experience into a new career (without starting over)
– Making an investment in yourself and your future
– What learning Salesforce actually involves
– Balancing retraining with parenting and work
– Getting the first opportunity after retraining
– Salary expectations and career progression
If you’re exploring ways to return to work or considering retraining, this session will introduce you to a path many people don’t realise exists, and why programmes like Supermums are helping parents move into flexible careers in a fast-growing tech industry.
