Thats a good answer and thanks so much. I'm a little paranoid about anything that has to do with the job search. Getting gainful employment has been the entire reason for my existence the past 4 years. I've moved states twice because of this reason. I still don't have a decent job. Im not concerned about my gaps, I have some volunteer work Im doing now anyway. However, the only person supporting me, is me. So I need to consider these things carefully.

I left news writing in 2012/2013. I'm looking for prof. writing opps in non profit or corporate communications.

May I ask what field you went back into Ms. Thunder Goddess?
