A poster to the Works for Me group asked how to explain the gap in her career on her resume.  The change was prompted by her need for a different balance after she had kids, but, in her case, there wasn't really a gap.  She had quit her full time marketing job to become a self-employed consultant.  For those moms who off-ramp completely, or who take a side rail like this poster, explaining the gap to potential employers often looms as a big concern.
