This morning's gem - having to eat the sprinkles off the top of a fab lolly whilst leaving the chocolate layer underneath intact, as my 3 yo has decided sprinkles are 'yucky'Grin

I can't be the only one with as-yet-undeclared CV worthy skills, feel free to share yours

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Don't record this on your CV: having phone convo whilst supervising twins in bath is definitely not pc!

ManciePancie · 24/07/2014 22:19

Even if you are able to do poo-monitoring/scooping at the same time!

Ability to repair loom bands - ohh yes.

Ha! Fun thread.

I am really good at cutting shapes, freehand.

Elephant? Yes.

Horse? Sure, Would you like standing or running?

Words? Cursive, if you like.

I actually get a kick out of it. Call the talent scouts. Lol.

We loved this thread so much we made it into a CV. Hope you like it.

But, more seriously I have supported any number of parents to write a CV using these sort of examples, and shown them how child rearing and running a household requires a lot of skills that are valuable in the workplace. The most recent got the job she applied for and made her prospective employers laugh with a description of how she would deal with a difficult customer, from experience of dealing with 5 children!
