[quote=Anonymous]How long have you been on maternity leave for? When are you scheduled to return? What is it you're concerned about, having new potential employers frown on your leaving your current company, or you having been out on maternity leave a certain amount of time? I stayed home for 8 months. I intended to go back to my job that I maternity-left from, but alas we moved and I was forced to find a new job (loved my old job!). Even having been out 7-8 months by the time I was interviewing I had no trouble "justifying" this in interviews. In fact I wasn't even really asked about it specifically, but maybe that's because when I was asked the general question about my work history I went through my experience and said and I have been on maternity leave since April or something to that effect. They didn't even flinch. If I may ask, are you getting paid mat leave by your current company and that is your hesitation/concern? [/quote]
