We strongly recommend you ensure your camera and microphone settings are set up prior to the May 20th networking day in case a sponsor asks you to video chat. Follow these helpful tips to prepare and troubleshoot any issues:

• Make sure you close out of any unnecessary applications or windows, refreshing your page, and trying again.
  

• Make sure you have strong Internet connectivity? Weak connections can often create disruptions in audio and video. In order to address this issue, try switching to an alternative Internet source.
  

• Is your browser up to date? Make sure you have the latest version of your browser. We recommend using Chrome, but Brazen also supports Firefox, Safari and MS Edge.
  

• Is your camera, mic and screen share enabled? Review your browser settings to make sure your browser can have access to your camera, mic and screen share. Also, check your device settings to make sure your audio, camera and screen settings are set to the preferred channels.
  

• Check your settings by browser: Chrome, Firefox, Safari, MS Edge

• See more in-depth information on technical requirements.

You can find an up to date listing of the sponsoring companies that will be recruiting at the May conference on the event landing page. For specific details about each company's return to work program, open positions and eligibility requirements, please click on the sponsor’s logo which will take you to the company’s information page about their program.

iRelaunch does not have specifics into the details of each company’s program, so it is best to conduct your own research by referencing Steps 19 and 20 of the Roadmap to guide you in your own company research. Access the Roadmap by logging into your iRelaunch Account and entering the Roadmap Product from your Library.

We highly recommend you do this research ahead of time so that you can make the most efficient use of your networking day with employers. Use your company research to develop your own strategy of which companies are at the top of your list to chat with on networking day.

If you are interested in a job, be straightforward with employers about whether you could relocate. Some companies may be moving to virtual jobs, but this is company and role specific.

All relaunchers (people who have been on a career break) have a chance to get a job. 

This varies by company and we highly recommend you do some research on the company's return to work program and eligibility before the networking day. Even if you're still not sure whether you're eligible, we do encourage companies to be flexible in their definition of a career break so don’t self select out and assume you're ineligible, but do be transparent about your career break and what you did during that time. 

Yes! Join our private iRelaunch Return To Work Forum Facebook group and LinkedIn Group.

Please note the Facebook group is limited to relaunchers only and you must answer the two questions AND agree to the rules in order to be admitted. Please be sure you scroll down to answer all questions and agree to the rules or you will not be admitted.

We’ve also created a "Post Topic" within this Facebook group for May conference attendees to use. Tag your post to connect with others attending the conference.
