Hiring managers: if you are NOT HIRING WOMEN with gaps on their resumes due to child caring, you are making a big mistake.
It is not the gap in their employment that is the problem, but the gap in your own judgment.
1) Gaps in resume do not mean gaps in talent, dedication, passion, loyalty.
2) If a woman has an employment gap due to raising a child, that does not mean she has forgotten any of her skills.
3) Caring for a child is hard work, and should NOT be even counted as a gap at all – just like looking for work is hard work, too.
4) Women returning to workforce are very loyal to their employers who hire them, - according to studies.
Shocker for some: these days more and more dads take career breaks to care for children. The above applies to these stay-home dads, as well. They have even harder time explaining their break to their employers. “I stayed at home to care for our two children” writes one dad. “When I tried to explain this to a recruiter, he asked ‘Don’t your children have a mother?’ I told him that raising children is the responsibility of both parents!” Please do not overlook resumes of people with gaps in employment. The talent is a terrible thing to waste ! Agree ?
