[quote=Anonymous]It's a pretty obvious answer. Write up a bullet list of the best sounding reasons and practice talking about them. Figure out which coworkers might be the most open to helping. Schedule coffee or lunch meetings. Make sure your resume is neat and professional. Also your government forms. Just ask for what you want. Most people who are mid-career have seen some stuff. They'll either help or they won't. If people offer you favors, ask them how they prefer to be followed up with so you aren't a pest. Don't apologize or be defensive about mommy-tracking. Many white collar skills don't decay at all - e.g., writing, planning, speaking, organizing. Also parents of young children often have more sudden schedule changes. So you're helpfully past that phase.[/quote]
