I don’t think so. I was a stay at home mom for 2 years before going back to work, and got a job at my first interview!

I think that a lot of that depends on your line of work. I was a teacher before I had my baby…it is quite common for teachers to take a few years off to stay home with their kids, so most principals think nothing of it.

Absolutely! I have a college education and cannot find a job because I have minimal work history. As if moms don’t have enough to deal with. UGH!!!!!!

Well, depends on the job and the mom. I had a tough time going back to teaching—not looking for a job (ESL teachers are a prized commodity in this country!), but leaving my younger son home with someone other than me! I took my older one to school with me (started in KG-1), but cried every day for at least a month about leaving the other one! He didn’t cry much though….

I think it depends on the employer. I can not say for sure, but I have submitted several applications and have been on several interviews and did not get hired for at least 3 months. I wonder if being unemployed has been a factor.
