[quote=Anonymous]Went back after 5+ years off. Had a long career before that, maintained my professional network, and did a few small freelance jobs while off work. Applied to two jobs, got one interview and an offer within a few months of looking. Working in my field, at a substantial raise over my last job. Current employers are very family-friendly and didn't bat an eye at the years off. They had also taken some family leave to raise kids (I later discovered), and looked at the totality of my experience and what I brought to the table. I can see where there might be some fields that would not be as forgiving of time off - but I know quite a few other SAHPs who have had very similar experiences to mine. Refresh your linked in, work on clearly communicating your skills, polish your "elevator pitch" about what you are looking for and your experience, and keep up your network! Good luck![/quote]
