[quote=Anonymous]This thread has a lot of useful information for women trying to return to the workforce, but also lots of unhelpful stuff (insults etc.).  I would be interested if SAHM's are really exposed to this type of scrunity when they try to return to work.  I was home with DC for about one year and then returned to work.  This was about four years ago.  I went on 3 interviews and was offered two jobs, but nobody really asked me why I stayed home etc.  We generally talked about the job, what it entails and what would be expected of me and how my past experience and skills would fit with the job.  The only thing in regards to 'children' that I was asked is about childcare arrangements which I thought was an acceptable question.  In addition, my previous two employers were contacted for references.

Now, I'm not an attorney, but just an Administrative Assistant (a good one though...), so maybe it is a different story when you have a more 'high-profile' career.  I consider myself a happy Career Admin Assistant.   :wink:

Maybe some former SAHM's who have recently reentered the workforce could post and share their experiences?  [/quote]
