Hi - I would love some advice from employers/HR people:
Having been self employed, many online forms are tricky to fill in because they insist on filling in an "employer" box - obvs I can put in n/a, self employed, but does that look a bit shit (and what would be an alternative?)
My references, one of which must be from my "current employer". I am still in touch with the people who last employed me, more than 10 years ago, but is that what it actually wanted? Should I get a client reference instead, and how is that sort of thing viewed? Obviously the relationship is different.
I feel quite confused by the whole thing, and very non-standard. But then, I had the impression that lots more people were working on a self-employed basis these days....
