Ask HN: Best single resource you use for tech returnships?

1 points by djellybeans 3 years ago | 2 comments

As an addendum, this other question: My resume and LinkedIn profile show no work since 2019- why have no companies or recruiters targeted me with returnships- only regular jobs?

I'm in a position where I could use a returnship and I think many more people are now in that position because of the climate of the tech jobs market. But returnships are still rather uncommon. I've found that it's mostly big, high-profile companies that offer them but I would like to seek more options in other places in order to increase my chances of getting hired. What are some other online resources that I might be overlooking for returnships from more unlikely companies and organizations?

Returnship is not a phrase I’ve heard before, but it’s an interesting concept.

It's more than a concept. They already exist right now. Amazon has a returnship program for example. "Return to Work" is another name given to them.

I'm interested in how to find them more easily, and from smaller companies. Finding them in general is like a needle in a haystack (as well as discussions about them, apparently)
