[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here's what you can say:

In my career before children, I felt a great deal of satisfaction in my job.  [Here are the things I accomplished during that time.]

It was with some trepidation, but also excitement, that I left the work world to be a stay at home parent. It was a choice I wanted to make at the time, anopportunity that I knew would come once in a lifetime.  So I jumped off to pursue that role full time.  I do not regret the decision, nor do I at all judge those who choose another route.

And now the time has come for me to return to the ABC field.  Again, it's a decision I do not regret, and, in fact, I'm relishing it.  I am aware that X time away puts me at a certain disadvantage, at least on paper.  So I have taken steps to ensure I am back up to speed as a competetive candidate who can offer [your company] the focus, drive, experience, and skills required to do this job well.  I am not looking back, I am looking forward.  I would not be here if I didn't not want this position.

[And then focus on what the focus, drive, and experiences you have are, and what you've done to keep yourself competetive.]

At least that's what I think.  :)[/quote]

OMG

No one in the position of hiring is expecting to hold a therapy session.  [/quote]
