Advice/help
I have been a stay at home mom for 6 years now. I’ve recently started looking into going back to work. I have been pretty discouraged to find that most employers in my area want your last two years work history. I am 36 and seeing that I basically have to start over is disappointing. I cannot do a lot of heavy lifting due to medical issues. So I am slightly limited on that and also time. Does anyone have any advice or has anyone been in a similar situation? How did you overcome it if so?
Tia.

I write for a career coach and her advice when you take a personal break from the workforce is to find a way to show how it built your professional skills. For example, being a mother has granted you the ability to remain calm while managing multiple tasks at once. If you can't find work list out any volunteer work you have done during your break in employment.

Focus on reading up on resume professional examples and formatting, keywords and don’t fret-you have not had a gap you have been working at home for 6 years and will be a valid deserving candidate :)
