[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm seeing 2 types of moms - ones who never had much of a career to begin with and ones who are overly experienced with old skills. I feel a bit guilty that I'm totally putting these people at the bottom of my list. I much prefer males or young women with no resume gap.[/quote] God I am so glad the person who hired me after staying at home for almost 9 years was a man! I did keep up my skills with volunteer work in my field (not PTA), but I have to think he hired me b/c I had great references, we know a lot of the same people, my past work holds up well and he just thought I would be a good fit. I think it's ridiculous to favor younger women just b/c they don't have a resume gap. The younger people I work with are nice, but boy, does their youth show in terms of judgement calls and general knowledge about the world, and about our field.[/quote]
