[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would say "I left the workforce to take care of my children while they were young. During that I also [insert volunteer work or freelance or whatever you did to keep skills sharp]" Then describe how those activities and other experience prepared you for this job. [/quote]

Personally, I didn’t leave my paid employment to go volunteer.  I left my paid employment to take care of my own kids.  Period.

Quite frankly I think anyone who brags about quitting her job but then spending her time volunteering (i.e. working for free) is an idiot.

If employers don’t like the gap they can go kick rocks.  There are plenty of jobs out there, I don’t need to grovel or justify how I live my life to anyone.

As far as keeping skills sharp, unless you left your job as a surgeon or something what most people do is not that dynamic or not that difficult to catch up.[/quote]

So people who volunteer to help others are “idiots.”

Great values you got there. Are you passing those on to your kids?
