What are some career options for someone joining the workforce after a gap of ten years?
My sister has a diploma in software and used to work as a trainer teaching computer skills to employees of large corporations. This was ten years ago in India. Then she got married, moved to the USA, and became a stay-at-home mom. Now she wants to get an education and go back to the workforce. She intends to continue living in the States. What are some good career options for her? Thank you for any ideas.

- All I know is anything that is in demand today won't be when you finish school.
- There are a million elderly people who are willing to pay money for someone to show them some basics on a computer. Consider working as self employed while going to school. The hours would be flexible and the clients would bring you more clients.
- A functional resume is used to emphasize skills and experience as opposed to employment dates, employers’ names and job titles. This is an excellent format to use if you are seeking to change careers, have had gaps in employment or are not able to show a strong work history with career progression. A chronological resume lists employment history in reverse chronological order with your current or most recent job first. When using this format, include the name and address of the company, dates of employment, job titles within the company and a description of your responsibilities in order of importance or relevance. This format is excellent for people with strong employment histories that are relevant to the targeted position A combination resume has elements of both the chronological and functional resumes. It is a particularly useful format if you have a long work history and wish to only emphasize some of it or to summarize your skills and experience under functional headings while still providing basic details of employment history You should use a functional resume
