Networking helps. Also temporary work can be a good way to ease back in.

How long have you been out of work? There are returnship programs to get back into the workforce.

There's no "best" way to do anything. Your first step might be dropping a perfectionistic self-sabotaging worldview. Whatever you do will be good enough, and it's not the end of the world if you make a mistake.
