Help! Application form headache!!!

[snowbird]

I have been a sahm for the past year and now feel ready to go back to work. I have an application form in front of me asking about my current employment, how do I describe myself? Does SAHM sound okay or do I put homemaker? housewife? If you were an employer what would be acceptable? Help!!!

This was years ago, but I used to put "full time parent" on my CV - didn't seem to put any employers off as far as I know!

Good luck btw

Thanks spacemonkey

I was at home for 18 months full time and said i had been a "full-time mother". I had absolutely no raised eybrows at all. in fact i think people like it. it's always a good talking point and i think a good way of talking through your skill set - which as a mother will of course be fanTAStic!

I recently put "home Executive" on an application form. It got some interest

Full time mother sounds better than homemaker IMO. Homemaker or houeswife conjuers up very old-fashioned images of a woman baking in her pinny.
