How do you explain a gap in employment?

I've been out of the work force for 4 years due to having/raising a child and relocating out of the country because my husband is in the military. We are getting ready to return to the states. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

How do you explain a gap in employment?
I would tell the truth. There is nothing wrong with what you did and it's perfectly acceptable reason. I'm usually on the hiring side and have no problems with someone taking time off raising children. Besides, starting off your employment with a lie is not a good way to begin things. HR folks can usually smell something fishy a mile away.





Good luck!
