I would like to apply for a job I have just seen advertised but my CV looks awful! I have worked on and off since the children were born 8 years ago but have always left due to problems with childcare. DH has had many different jobs with varying hours and we have no family at all so no-one to help out in holidays etc. I left my previous job in May as dh was having to take so much time off for childcare (he is self-employed and I am a low wage earner so it made more sense for me to be at home). Thing is I don't want to keep putting 'child care problems' as my reason for leaving at least 3 jobs which i held for roughly a year each. I look completely unreliable! This job i'm interested in would be perfect and now that both dc's are at school with a new holiday club just opened on the site I shouldn't encounter any further problems. What would you put as a reason for leaving the other jobs?
