Can anyone guide me how to get in tech after career gap of 7 years. My spouse has 4 years experience as SAS programmer and now received work authorization. She is being ghosted by recruiters and hiring manager as soon they learn about her career gap. She has done couple of cloud fundamentals certification and cousera certification/training on SAS to start with and applying for all SAS or Data Analyst related job. #womenintech #tech #careerbuilder
Maybe put the reason right in the resume *gap in resume to stay home with kids* I did that for my 2 year gap when I went to college full time and didn’t list my waitressing gig and think it helped. Or… just know someone… good luck, it will take some time but I’ve met plenty women just coming back in. She’s got this!
A number of large firms have Returner programs specifically aimed at this. Is she applying via those?
Yes she has applied to majority of returnship programs too. Either recruiter doesn't reply back or job posting gets removed in few days. Tried with referrals for those positions too but no luck.
