[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Depends on your field...what was the last type of job you had and what are you currently looking for?

In my field, you would need to take a lower position, a "training" position for at least 2 years to get back into the the field. My concerns, as a boss, would be -[b] is this really something you are committed too (seeing as you left the first time)[/b] and how you would balance your family / work obligations. Since young people usually populate our training positions I would need you to show me how your skills would be much greater than someone who will work long hours (or how since you have more experience get more done between 9 to 5). Also, if you knowledge is out of date I would also question how much you know and whether you could adapt. Any way, those are examples for my field.[/quote]

Coming from a woman, this is just BS!

Anyway OP, a few months ago went back a bit unexpectedly after 8 years out, but to a new field.  The transition has been a tad hectic, since I wasn't really planning it, but so far I'm happier than ever.  Right now I feel the hardest part is getting organized with clothes, and systems.  But, I love the job, so those things are just minor.  It may be easier if you go into something different because it's not like I'm behind on the industry.  But I came from an industry that didn't you didn't have to do much training to keep current, so that would have been a non-issue.  There are employers who WONT question your commitment, so don't lose hope.  [/quote]
