You are very intelligent and present yourself very well. You will find a job. I'm sensing frustration about the perceived "gap" in employment and I'm guessing they have told you that's the reason for being passed over or you are assuming that is the reason. It was the right thing for you and your family and you should never regret that decision. If it means it takes extra time to find the employer who is enlightened enough to recognize the importance of your parenting career, it may be a good thing because then you've found that enlightened employer who shares your values. But, in the mean time, I'm crossing my fingers for you!! :) Fear not. You are very intelligent and present yourself very well. You will find a job.

There are programs and people focused on getting ex-convicts back into good jobs. An absolutely worthy cause and I don't have a problem with that on its own. But combine that with the rest below. There are places who will give a good job to some one who has done nothing with their life that shows a history of responsibility, just because they have no employment gaps. However, when it comes to a person who graduated at the top of her program in college (no this is NOT a totally random example), worked professionally, but then took time off to take care of children - companies see NOTHING but the employment gap. I find that completely and totally stupid.
