Are you a mom who took time off to raise her kiddo(s)? Did you experience a hardship in getting back to work after you took what pop culture is calling a "Mommy Gap"? A lot of moms have been there. In fact, the 2021 Job List Survey says that 61% of people who experience at least a 12-month gap in employment are women. What's more is that employers often show bias against applicants who have gaps in their resume - which can, of course, occur if you take time off to raise tiny humans - an extremely honorable, and often all-consuming job on its own.
But many companies don't recognize the skills needed to raise a whole entire human. Dove is aiming to change that and has launched a super cool tool to help moms re-enter the workforce.
Enter the Mom Experience Translator - your secret weapon for translating your incredible parenting skills into the language employers understand. You know you're a master organizer, negotiator, and problem-solver, but sometimes, putting those skills on a resume can be tricky. The Mom Experience Translator takes the guesswork out of it!
Just enter a job description you're interested in, and the tool will show you how your parenting experiences translate into the specific skills that hiring managers are looking for. You can also add your own accomplishments and areas of expertise to make your resume shine!
The tool is free and easy to use and it can be a major confidence boost to see your parenting skills in a new light! You'll be able to stand out from the pile of boring resumes and showcase your unique strengths as a mom, individual, and all-around baddie to potential employers.
To celebrate the launch of the Mom Experience Translator, Dove Chocolate is giving away $1,000 to 10 lucky moms who use the tool, and the brand is also donating $10,000 to a charity that supports women re-entering the workforce.
