[quote=Anonymous]OP, I'd look on Upwork.com for something specifically related to the skills that you developed getting your Phd (statistics, copy editing, translation, etc.). Even if you end up taking projects where you don't work much, you will get some recent work experience. I'm a consultant who started using Upwork to build experience using a totally new skill set. The first project I took was at an hourly rate about 1/8th of my normal rate. It was humbling, but I told the hiring manager that I was looking for experience, willing to take a low rate and mostly interested in getting positive reviews. Within two months I had an offer for a long term, fully remote gig using the new skills at an hourly rate equal to my previous highest rate. I'm not saying that you'll be making big bucks in two months after a 10 year layoff, but you can get some experience for sure. [/quote]
