Title: I recently spoke to a woman in her 40s or 50s who would like to go back to work after two decades of not being in the workforce. She worked for the US army as a programmer before she had kids, but took a long time off to raise them. Just talking to her I could tell she was quick, conscientious, and would learn fast, but she doesn&#x27;t know current frameworks in depth. (For reference, she learned COBOL in college.) She&#x27;s also looking for flexible or part-time hours, so that she can be home for her kids.<p>I think there are a lot of companies that would like to hire people like this - not FAANG perhaps, but smaller companies who would want someone smart and with life experience, and are willing to train a new employee in their specific technologies. She&#x27;d be happy to do a trial period or internship first. But we weren&#x27;t sure how to reach such companies. Does anyone have experience finding jobs that would fit this profile? Where would you look?<p>(If you would like to hire such a worker in the NY area or remotely, PM me!)
