[quote=Anonymous]Recently completed hiring for 5 attorney positions. I agree 100% with the PP who said that she has cut back to P/T to keep one foot in the door. IMHO, that makes a HUGE difference. Even if you don't have paid work, but can demonstrate how you are keeping up with your profession (through conference attendance, writing article, volunteering professional services) that helps. The reality is that it is an incredibly competitive legal market. When you have the choice between someone who is currently in a F/T job with relevant experience and someone who has been out of the legal workforce for 1+ years, it is very hard to take the leap on the SAHM (or SAHD). That said, I do think the length of gap on resume makes a difference (shorter the better). A multi-year (3+ year) gap is hard to overcome. [/quote]
