I am thinking of applying for a few jobs, as being self-employed doesn't feel that it is right for me.

So I am now writing a CV, and have a few questions:
What do you write in Objective?? (I am using one from Microsoft.

What do I say i have been doing for the three years that I have been home with children?

Thanks

Hi!

Your objective is to say what you want to achieve/want to do in a job. Really sell yourself!

Be honest a put that you have been SAHM for the last three years. Be very proud of yourself!

Good luck xx

A lot of people list their skills first, think about what you are good at through being a SAHM.

I would also spend some time thinking carefully about what it is you want to do, and also try to target the CV to the employer, so you end up changing it a bit to fit the employer.

were you self employed at same time as being SAHM? cos that must take some doing! Emphasise your previous work experience, then as others suggested be proud of your SAHM experience as well.

best of luck!
