[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow! What a horrible person you are. That is a very judgmental way of thinking and you obviously know it otherwise you wouldn't "feel a bit guilty." I hope karma bites you in the ass someday.

I have a gap because my husband was in a war zone for several months at a time and I stayed home with my son over the summer. I would like to get back into the work force and I just learned he is going back again. My son has special needs so it isn't so easy to just get a nanny. Obviously, I will figure it out. But, hearing this is really heart wrenching.

Here my husband is doing something good for the country and I get slammed for it. Lovely.[/quote]

Not the OP, but you would be a great candidate...if you lose the martyr mentality.  Nobody is slamming you.  The OP is simply saying what he/she prefers in a candidate.  Clearly, not all employers feel that way.

At the end of the day, it is your responsibility to convince employers that you are a good candidate.  You have a great story to tell and there are employers who would be intrigued and impressed by it.  But YOU have to tell the story and make the case. You cannot just expect employers to see the gap and understand.  [/quote]
