[quote=Anonymous]I had a similar gap on my résumé. I just put in the volunteer positions I had held, and tailored my résumé to highlight skills. In cover letters, I explained that I was a full-time parent for x years. Interviewing, I found that some employers really valued the experience of a full-time parent/volunteer, and others did not. I took that as an indicator as to how good of a fit the employer would be! I only wanted to work in a place that would be family-friendly, and understanding/appreciative of the challenges of being an at-home parent.[/quote]
