[quote=Anonymous]Mostly SAHM here who has been doing contract work in my field for past couple years as my youngest approaches kindergarten. Are you on LinkedIn? Depending on your industry you might have luck with them. Was just approached by a recruiter for more work in my field because of my profile. Also I've been careful to limit my unrelated volunteer work. I find that because I'm home with my kids I get asked to volunteer about once a week. I'm very focused on what I volunteer for, and I say no a lot. I save my energy to attend a couple trainings/conferences in my industry and do excellent work when I am working. And I agree with others. Don't sell yourself short!! A lot of people have job gaps for many reasons these days. You just have to keep getting out there. It's so hard to be persistent with all the prejudice against caregivers of all kinds. Stay positive (I know, so hard!!)[/quote]
