[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am currently conducting interviews for an open IT position. I will ask about gaps in resumes. Staying home with young children isn't an issue. I would be more concerned about an unexplained gap or one that the person avoided talking about than I would about staying home for childcare reasons.[/quote] I just had an interview where they asked me to explain my SAHM gap and I said for childcare but then [b]they wanted to know all the specifics: how many children and how old were they now?[/b] I felt like if I told them 3 or 4 they would be impressed. But the fact is that I have one. Needless to say, I didn't get the job. [/quote] I hire for our company and would never ask that question. In fact, it's completely inappropriate and unprofessional. You're better off not working for any company that would ask you that, let alone discriminate against you due to caring for your children.[/quote]
