[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am the OP and I have kids (two) and stayed home for over a year with both before I went back to work.  The issue that I see in a lot of resumes is not only was there no work experience but there is nothing else - no charity work, no volunteering.   The thing that set me off about the resume that cause me to write the post is that the candidate went on to state how she would be great for the position due to her extensive experience - which was 15 years ago.[/quote]

I haven't read past this post yet, but I find this really ironic since there was a thread on here last year about volunteering for the PTA, which got tons of vitriolic comments from working moms about how that's something for SAHMs with too much time on their hands. Someone added that they think they can pad their resume with this BS, and someone else replied that the SAHMs should get real, that no interviewer  is going to give a hoot about their ridiculous volunteer work and certainly doesn't want to see it on a resume.

Never start a post with, "I haven't read..."  Surefire way to end up sounding like an idiot.[/quote]
