Meeting some of the women who are part of a new local group

trying to help women return to paid employment after a “career break” makes one aware that

Silicon Valley may be wasting a precious resource that has noth-ing to do with the drought. The women who have joined to form SparkUp have advanced degrees from places like Stan-ford, Berkeley, Columbia and Cornell. They’re lawyers, sci-entists, MBAs and PhD’. They have decades of experience in demanding workplaces. They also have what many call a “resume gap” — years spent

outside the conventional work world caring for children or elderly relatives, or even work-ing on their own businesses. The women say they are facing problems they couldn’t imagine when they decided to shift their focus from work to other priori-ties, whether a few years or more than a decade ago. Many have found that now that they are ready to return to the work world, that world doesn’t seem to want them.

Katy Jenkins of Menlo Park, who in 2013 took a buyout after 32 years with the Hewlett-Pack-ard Company to help care for ailing parents and a teenage son, has been told that something that used to be seen as a laudable trait — loyalty to an employer — is now seen by some as a liability. After helping her mother cope with the death of her father, moving her to assisted living and clearing out the family home, while supporting her son through the transition from middle school to high school; Ms. Jenkins decided to return to

paid employment. The break “recharged me,” she says. “I have the energy to go back full-swing.” When she left H-P, she was an engineering business operations manager, in charge of incorpo-rating a start-up acquisition into the company. With a master’s degree in elec-trical engineering from Stanford University, a master’s of business administration from the Univer-sity of California, Berkeley, and a wide variety of management

experience at H-P, it seems that Ms. Jenkins would be a prized commodity in Silicon Valley. Instead, after recently going through two rounds of inter-views at one company, she was told that the interviewer “didn’t like the fact that I’d worked for the same company for a long time.” Another company told her, despite having both an undergraduate and master’s degree in electrical engineering, “they didn’t think I was techni-cal enough.” Mostly, though, she has applied for positions “that I think are perfect for me” only to see her resume “fall into the black hole,” she says. At a recent SparkUp meeting in Menlo Park, a panel of recruiters and career coaches gave advice to the standing-room-only crowd of women in attendance, including Ms. Jenkins. “It’s important to remember rejection is a normal part of the process,” said Colleen Can-ney, an engineering recruiter for Google and a career coach. She recommended an action plan that includes talking with people in a job you think you might want. “Speak with people and put yourself out there,” she said. Divya Kumar is someone who did just that after attending one of the first meetings of SparkUp, which was formed only last October. Ms. Kumar, 39, had a doctorate in chemistry from

Columbia University and had done post-doctoral work at UC Davis when she discovered her infant daughter had severe mul-tiple food allergies. “It was hard to leave her with anybody,” she says. “Day care was out of the question for me.” With her daughter now in kindergarten and a second child who is free of allergies, Ms. Kumar, who recently moved to Sunnyvale, decided she could

return to paid employment. At SparkUp she found that “every-one had this common goal of trying to get back” to a career, she said. Although it was not part of her background, Ms. Kumar decided she wanted to work in food allergy research. After try-ing unsuccessfully to be intro-duced to a doctor she admired, Kari Nadeau, the director of the Sean N. Parker Center for Allergy Research at Stanford, Ms. Kumar just sent her an email. “I kept realizing this is what I want to do, and why not tell this doctor?” she said. Dr. Nadeau not only emailed back quickly, but encouraged

Ms. Kumar to apply for a job in the lab. Although Ms. Kumar was over-qualified for the entry-level job, she convinced them that she would stay with it. She was hired. “It’s so reward-ing,” she says of her new job. That type of success story was what Singari Seshadri had in mind when she formed Spark-Up. The local group was actually her second, and she says that after relocating to the Bay Area when her husband got a new job, she had no plans to transplant the organization she had started in New York state. In fact, she thought that Sili-con Valley would have plenty of resources for women trying to return to paid employment. “I didn’t think there was an issue here,” she says. But then an attorney who wanted advice about what might happen if she took a break from her legal career posted a com-ment about her situation on the Parents Club of Palo Alto and Menlo Park website. The posting struck a nerve in that community. “It brought up this whole issue of, can women go back to work?” Ms. Seshadri says. Ms. Seshadri posted a link to the New York SparkUp, and she was urged to start a similar organization here. A Google forum led to a coffee in October, which led to another meeting, and then a speaker series and additional get-togethers that started in January. For the first speaker, “we hon-estly were expecting 15 people,” Ms. Seshadri says. They had 93,

and had to scramble for a room to accommodate them at the last minute. The group now has 300 on its mailing list. At the core of what SparkUp is trying to do, Ms. Seshadri says, “is the idea of having this peer group or cohort to support you through this journey.” The women keep each other on track and motivated, and share con-nections and ideas. “It’s really this idea of support, motivation, accountability,” she says. “These women are so intelli-gent, so talented, have so much to offer,” Ms. Seshadri says. Roopa Shah, 39, of Atherton is one of those SparkUp mem-bers. With a background as a research scientist and an MBA from Cornell, she says she’s just beginning to “think about going back to work” now that her sec-ond child is 2. “I didn’t mind taking a back-seat for a while,” she says. But now, “I want to do something for myself,” she says. “I still have that drive in me — I want to use it.” From SparkUp, Ms. Shah says, she’s learned that figuring out the type of work she wants to do and where she wants to do it are important. “I’m trying to figure out what I want to do; what I can do,” she says. Knowing others who are doing the same thing helps, she says. “It’s good to know there (are) so many like you who are trying to transition back,” she says. Ms. Seshadri, the SparkUp founder, says had an ulterior motive in getting the local orga-nization going — she’d like to go back to paying work as well.

With her family finally settled in Menlo Park and her son about to enter middle school, the 42-year-old says she’s ready. “I’m out there networking, meet-ing people; trying to figure out what’s next for me,” she says. Since she advises women to try to figure out what their ideal job is, Ms. Seshadri has her own in mind. “My dream job is run-ning, or being involved with, an organization or a fund that invests in women entrepre-neurs,” she says. “I love working with start-ups, I love working with entrepreneurs. I am inter-ested in empowering women.” Since she’s been at this awhile, Ms. Seshadri also knows “the perfect job doesn’t exist,” she says, so she would also be happy to take a job that combines two of those loves. Ms. Jenkins says despite her setbacks, she is not discouraged. “I’m optimistic,” she says. “May-be it’s because I’m a problem solver.” She now understands, she says, “you don’t necessarily go back to the job you left — and I think that’s one of the things women have to get over. “But there’s a world of possi-bilities out there.” A

What may be the last Sunset Celebration Weekend will be held Saturday and Sunday, June 6 and 7, at Sunset’s headquarters on Willow Road near Middle-field Road in Menlo Park. Embarcadero Capital Partner bought the 7-acre Sunset site last year from Time Inc., and Sunset is said to be looking for new space in the Bay Area.

The Sunset Celebration Weekend originated when the magazine hosted its 100th birthday celebration and proved to be so popular that it has become a yearly event. While future plans may be up in the air, this year’s celebration promises two activity-packed days, from the presentation of the new backyard cottage

exhibit to a line-up of celebrity chefs. Chris Cosentino, Martin Yan, Joanne Weir, Craig Stoll and James Syhabout are among those who will give demonstra-tions on the cooking stage or in the outdoor garden during the weekend. Visitors may wander from the home stage to the travel stage to the garden and outdoor

living stage, where experts will share their knowledge from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. both days. Tickets may be purchased on site for the popular wine and beer seminars. Cost per seminar is $15 per person; par-ticipants must be 21 or older. Children’s hands-on learn-ing activities include painting terracotta garden pots and a

“make your own trail mix” workshop. General admission to Cel-ebration Weekend is $35 at the door; $27 for seniors 60 years and older; and free for children 12 and under. During event hours parking will be available at Facebook headquarters at 1601 Willow Road, and at several lots sur-rounding the event grounds. Complimentary shuttles will be available. For more information visit sunset.com/cw.

Sunset Celebration Weekend likely to be the lastTwo-day event features demonstrations, exhibits and seminars

Twelve one-of-a-kind, life-size children’s playhouses will be featured at the “Dreams Hap-pen” fundraising auction on Saturday, June 6, at the Stanford Shopping Center. Each year, the fantasy playhous-es go on the auction block, with proceeds benefiting Rebuilding Together Peninsula, a nonprofit dedicated to rehabilitating homes and community buildings. Renowned architect Frank Gehry’s firm, Design by Gehry Partners, with building by Level 10 Construction, is presenting a “Tours en l’Air,” a playhouse with open views to the sky and a vari-ety of spaces to explore. The struc-ture is sponsored by Facebook. The event will begin at 6:30 p.m. with registration and cock-tails in the courtyard between Nordstrom and Crate & Barrel at the Stanford center. Dining is at 7:30, and the auction and

drawing is set to begin at 8:30. A DJ will provide music for dancing under the stars while a sampling of the center’s res-taurants and cafes provide the dinner fare. Each of the playhouses is out-fitted by theme by its architect, designer and building team. Gary Ahern of Focal Point Design is presenting “Once Upon a Time,” with building by Joel Butler of Butler Con-struction. Mr. Ahern has been building “dream houses” since 1999. His mini-rendition of the Ahwahnee Hotel at Yosemite, which sold for $70,000 in 2005, stands out as the auction’s top moneymaker. Other playhouses on display this year include a fort, a diner, and a kids’ barn. “Fire Lookout,” designed by John Onken, will be

UNLESS YOU TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY, IT MAY BE SOLD AT A PUBLIC SALE. IF YOU NEED AN EXPLANATION OF THE NATURE OF THE PROCEEDINGS AGAINST YOU, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A LAWYER. On June 16, 2015 at 01:00 PM, Marshall St. Entrance, San Mateo County Courthouse, Southern Branch Hall of Justice & Records, 400 County Center, Redwood City, CA 94063, MTC Financial Inc. dba Trustee Corps, as the duly Appointed Trustee, under and pursuant to the power of sale contained in that certain Deed of Trust Recorded on May 11, 1994 as Instrument No. 94083669 of official records in the Office of the Recorder of San Mateo County, California, executed by DAVID M. CHODOS AND LORAINE CHODOS, HUSBAND AND WIFE, as Trustor(s), in favor of AMERICAN SAVINGS BANK, F.A. as Beneficiary, WILL SELL AT PUBLIC AUCTION TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER, in lawful money of the United States, all payable at the time of sale, that cer-tain property situated in said County, California describing the land therein as: AS MORE FULLY DESCRIBED IN SAID DEED OF TRUST The property heretofore described is being sold “as is”. The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 9 SEQUOIA DRIVE, LA HONDA, CA 94020 The under-signed Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. Said sale will be made without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the Note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust, with interest thereon, as provided in said Note(s), advances if any, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, estimated fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligations secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of this Notice of Trustee’s Sale is estimated to be $150,979.80 (Estimated). However, prepayment premiums, accrued inter-est and advances will increase this figure prior to sale. Beneficiary’s bid at said sale may include all or part of said amount. In addition to cash, the Trustee will accept a cashier’s check drawn on a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, savings association or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the California Financial Code and authorized to do business in California, or other such funds as may be acceptable to the Trustee. In the event tender other than cash is accepted, the Trustee may withhold the issuance of the Trustee’s Deed Upon Sale until funds become available to the payee or endorsee as a matter of right. The property offered for sale excludes all funds held on account by the prop-erty receiver, if applicable. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason,

the successful bidder’s sole and exclu-sive remedy shall be the return of mon-ies paid to the Trustee and the success-ful bidder shall have no further recourse. Notice to Potential Bidders If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a Trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a Trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for pay-ing off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by con-tacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this informa-tion. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same Lender may hold more than one mortgage or Deed of Trust on the property. Notice to Property Owner The sale date shown on this Notice of Sale may be postponed one or more times by the Mortgagee, Beneficiary, Trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about Trustee Sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call Auction.com at 800.280.2832 for information regarding the Trustee’s Sale or visit the Internet Web site address www.Auction.com for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, CA08006705-14-1. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the tele-phone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify post-ponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.
