[quote=Anonymous]I would assume if a woman presents with a 5-6-7 year gap, it's presumed she stayed home to raise kids. That's not an issue AS LONG as during that time you were also pursuing education, volunteering, keeping up with new developments in the field, maintained contacts and network, etc.etc. The only problem I can see is if you have a very long gap (7-10 years) with absolutely zero to show for it in terms of staying active in the field or pursuing any education or professional development. And even then it's not an issue of staying home it's that you stayed home for a long time and did absolutely nothing to prepare for going back to work- that's when SAHMs are at a disadvantage when returning to the workforce. You should be fine. [/quote]
