[quote=Anonymous]OP, I haven't read all the posts but I have 2 friends in similar situations (comparable degrees/expertise and 4 years out of the country without a compelling resume line). One came back and found a great job quickly. The other one has been looking for almost a year. I believe luck played a HUGE role in that distinction, but I will also say that the one who can't find work basically refuses to do anything other than apply for posted job openings. She does this diligently but honestly it's not a sensible way to find a job in DC in a field like this. Your wife needs to be networking - having coffee with old colleagues, asking friends of friends of friends with relevant jobs to spend 20 minutes with her, etc. I think my friend avoids this because it is intimidating, but unfortunately it's the only way to get a non-entry level job in a competitive field in a political town. I wish your wife good luck![/quote]
