Okay so I applied for a position with startup last week. I had, what I thought to be a VERY good phone interview and got an indication that I would be called in for a face-to-face this week. I haven't heard anything yet. I think they may be concerned about my absence from the workforce. Yet, THAT is the very reason they should call me in for the interview.
Think about it. It is the exact same thing as a woman leaving her career to raise he newborn until they are in school. That's what, five years? Yes, a lot changes over the years; especially in human resources (gods know Washington won't rest). But, do you pass her 12 years of HR experience and 10 years of startup experience by because you are afraid she won't fit the bill? NO, you call her in and question her.
So why don't these guys see that?
Disappointment abounds.
