[quote=Anonymous]I am a SAHM that transitioned back to the workforce after 5 years. I did it because I got divorced and needed the income, but also because my kids were starting school. It was very hard to get into the door. I worked/work in IT and IT changes very quickly, so my skill set was outdated. When I DID get a call about my resume or an interview (which was rare), I got questioned about what I had been doing to keep current in my field. I even got a question about the gap and whether I was in prison!!! I'd try to do some volunteer work in the field you are looking to return to, do some classes or just read up about stuff...they are looking to see if you are serious about returning and what value you bring. It took me about 8 months of actively trying to find a position and get an offer. But I'm so happy with it. Good luck!! [/quote]
