[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry it has been so tough to get back into the workforce OP.  I wish it was different in our culture too.

I am a WOHM and really don't understand why it is so hard for a parent to take some time off and return to work later.  Definitely a major factor on my decision to not SAH at all.

I think the idea that if someone leaves the workforce to care full time for their children they don't appear to be dedicated employees.  That is just crap.[/quote]

I think it's crap too. Part of the issue is, it's just a really competitive world out there, especially for those in the DC area. There are a lot of highly educated, highly skilled people out there, and hiring managers are super busy. It truly is easier to get a job when you already have a job. They are looking for anything to make that pile of resumes smaller and get someone hired fast. That is why keeping up the network is so important. You really need an "in" for most jobs nowadays, SAHM or not. [/quote]
