In the U.S., there are roughly 23 million working moms and they make up about 72% of the workforce.

There are many reasons why moms take a break from work.

Unfortunately, once they take a year or a few off to focus on motherhood and other responsibilities, it can be challenging to explain the gap year they now have on their resume.

And sadly, there’s a lot of bias and stigma that moms face in their job search as they’re looking to get back to work.

Questions about if they’re really ready, if they will be dependable and committed, and where work falls on their list of priorities.

Aka Mom-bias, which is whack!

If you’re a mom who has recently taken a career break to tend to your kids, here are some resume tips to help you.

Tips include:

How to list your job title
What responsibilities to include
The best resume layout + format you should use
& More!
