How can I get back into work after a break?

On this week's Friday Personal Finance Friday Question we talk about how you can get back into work after a break.
 
Main points to know:

• Many people need to deal with returning to the workforce after a break at some point in their career. This can be due minding kids, looking after relatives, or bereavement. Although quite a normal thing, many people feel stressed returning to work.
• Update your CV, and create a LinkedIn profile (that is visible to recruiters).
• Have someone else spell and sense-check your CV and LinkedIn.
• Talk to recruiters. Your interests are often aligned, they give you an idea of the job market, and can help you get back to work. They can also prep your for interviews.
• Don’t go it alone. Use the resources available. (see below)
• Get started. Even the longest journey starts with a single step.
