Stay at Home Mom returning to work..interview tips?

Answer 1

I would focus on good preparation -- a resume that describes your skills and strengths, explains any gaps in employment and your work history. If you have volunteered for any organizations, include that in your resume. Research carefully any organizations you apply to-annual reports for businesses, internet research, contacts you have who know about the organization. You've made a great start by asking here on Yahoo Answers. When you interview, your presentation of your skills and knowledge of organization will impress the interviewer. Good luck!

Answer 2

Hi, as an employer, the things that are most impressive to me are;

1. The Ability to interact and get along with co-workers
2. Hard Listener
3. Learns quickly / sharp minded
4. Specialty Skills
5. Job History, length of previous jobs, job accomplishments

Hope this is helpful... God Bless

Answer 3

Same as anyone else interviewing, talk about what you can do for them. If they ask about your gap in employment history tell them you took time off to raise children. Go on to explain what you did to keep up your skills or temp work you did while off if any and any extra education you got while off work.
