Resume Tips for Heading Back to Work After Children

Every year, numerous parents decide to return to the workforce after taking time off to raise children. Whether the time was for six weeks or 18 years, most parents who are going back to work find it difficult to overcome the gap in employment. The time between jobs can hurt your chances of re-entering the job market and many employers will admit that these breaks in employment history tend to push a candidate out of the running for an opening.

Almost all parents who have spent time at home versus working an outside job have activities that can and should be included on a resume when the time comes to return to work. Just because you did not receive paid compensation for your work doesn’t make your experience less valuable. Treat volunteer activities the same as you would a paid position.

Any leadership roles in such organizations will help to highlight skills and accomplishments related to the position you are applying for.
