Is it possible to get a job after a 5 year break?

Question

Career in IT

How suspicious are large gaps in web developer experience (specifically, maternity leave) when applying for a job? Is this gap compensated in the eyes of employers by taking courses, intensive courses and working on non-commercial projects?
During the break, the freelancer mostly worked on small tasks. Type to fix the form, import / export of goods from the site, change the appearance of the blocks on the site, etc. There were several non-commercial projects (imposition + backing).

Answer 1

Can. I allow.
If, before that, you were a beginner, then get ready. The competition among the juniors has become high.
If you were qualified before, you will be pleasantly surprised at how much you are in demand.

Answer 2

Suspicious in what sense? Well, they didn't work for family reasons. In general, 5 years for the web is a very long break, so your previous experience is, of course, a plus, but do not be surprised if they will usually consider you, as a rule, only for the position of a junior.
