Hi All,:)
I have come across a femalewho is an MBA HR and with five years of experience in worklife, in that two years in core HR dealing with recruitments, performance appraisals, employee relations etc. in a IT company she has stopped working once she got married :icon1: and there is a gap of seven years in work life, but so passionate about HR work :-D that even today no one can believe that this person is not working. Excellent in work. But family committments and change of place made her not to take up the job. but right now again this person wants to join back into the industry at a place other than she worked.
Now how do u think that she can get back to work with the same zeal and what are the preparations needed by her. does she get a welcome in the company even after having a gap. or what are the options left out for her. Still she has excellent opportunities at her native place but she cannot go back, as she has to live at her husbands place, hence needs suggestion and comments and whatever help u can do.....................
thanks and regards.

Hi
Gap is considered for a very reason when one tends to forget the practical implementation of the domain into their work area.If that is checked then i dont see any hassle of not considering anyone..offcourse the current market awareness is also required as 7 yrs is a flat gap

Hay Sadhana,
I agree with Samaresh, in addition I think she should keep in touch with current HR trends through her old batch mates who are working, collegues and friends like you. She also can join Cite HR and seek a solutions for her queries from people like us. Not for long time at least for a month before she join a new company.

Hi Samaresh and Narendra,
I think u are right she needs to be updated with what is going on in the current scenario of HR. and then only she must think of attending interviews or joining some organisation. but is there anything more she must do apart from this.

Good topic. I feel this is a situation where the importance of Continuous education comes into prominence. If any particular individual is stuck due to family or other reason, and not able to carry out normal routines what he/she is doing, I believe, he or she can join for a distance learning programme of choice and keep himself active during this period. This along with interactions in Forums like Cite HR will keep him updated with what's happening around in the world. I can give an example of a personal friend of mine who got implicated in a murder case and had to go for a longer jail term. He as a post graduate in Commerce at the time he was punished. Through sheer determination, he studied LLB and LLM from the jail and now practising as leading advocate.
It all summarises to how one utilises the gap. So, as it was said earlier, please request your friend to join Cite HR, which will be the firts step towards her to fill the gap forever.

I think this is a very common problem in Indian situation. My wife also faced same problem few years back. All the interviewers are people like you & me and can understand such situation (may have faced one).
Tell her gone days are gone, but that doesn't mean one forgets all the knowledge & experience acquired over those years. I will rather say that she has acquired another experience of 'Home Management'. Remember the golden rule 'If you can do one thing, you can do another'. So tell her to apply for the job with zeal, face the interview with enthusiasm and go to the job with confidence.
