[quote=Anonymous]NP here with some encouraging words. I recently went back to work, after 5+ years off as a SAHM. Early 50s. I work in a research and analyst type of job and my experience was considered an asset and in fact necessary. I know that not all fields are as forgiving. But there is hope when you find those areas that value what you have to offer. FWIW, I did get a new suit and made sure I looked reasonably up to date. I don't think it was a deciding factor at all for them, but it gave me an extra confidence boost. I went through my resume and made sure I had examples of work I had done and contributions I made to teams and employers ready to discuss. The substance of my experience was very important - they wanted someone who really knew the content areas but had broad enough experience as a generalist to step in with new work in the future. Good luck to you in finding the right fit![/quote]
