Resuming your banking career after a maternity break may be daunting, but there’s no reason why you can’t jump right back in

 

Before taking time out to raise my son, who is now two, I was an executive in the banking sector working in compliance. Short of contacting my old firm, how should I go about returning to the industry in Hong Kong and assuring potential employers I am as capable and valuable as I was previously? I’d like to enter interviews confidently, but feel as though re-joining the working world may be more difficult than I had thought.
