Not Sure About Hiring A Stay-at-home Mom?

I just read this gem, In Honor Of Stay-At-Home Moms referring to To grandmother Pelosi’s house we go. The quote I loved,

At a minimum, it teaches you just how many supposed grown-ups only need a good, long nap to be decent neighbors and co-workers.

If you’re not sure about whether you should hire stay-at-home Moms who are now rejoining the workforce, think about Nancy Pelosi. And, one of my clients says, “I love those Moms who raised children for a few years–the more the better. They are great project managers and have great organizational skills.” (He was talking about people who had enough technical expertise to manage technical projects.) So, take a chance, assuming these candidates meet your needs, with the exception of recent workforce experience.
