Hello,
Has anyone taken time out for personal reasons? If so, what's the best way to explain it on CV?
I haven't worked since last Feb 2008 as was made redundant, did a 6 week freelance project mgr job May 2008, then from July 2008 I looked after my mother until last month as she was terminally ill.
Should I put a paragraph at top briefly explaining? I don't want to sound maudlin but think my CV will just get binned when I send to agents if they see a big gap. The 6 week gig was agreed in advance with the agency, I didn't start then leave early.
So is it worth putting down the 6 weeks I did last year along with the freelance writing I'm doing at moment? Not sure if it'll all get a bit messy....any advice appreciated.
Thanks.
