Hi all, I'm new to mumsnet and you are my last hope.

I moved to Denmark 3 years ago for work purposes taking my then nearly 10 year old daughter with me. Things looked promising back then, my daughter learnt a new language and looked to be doing well. I had a new job and it was going well, until I tried to make friends - being a single parent in a foreign country it was very difficult to socialise. 3 years later, I still have no friends and my job has changed dramatically which is not working out for me anymore (I am required to travel to other countries for a few days every month, which I can not do). I have spoken to my boss about it, but the reply I got was "we are all in the same boat and we are required to travel regardless of circumstance". My daughter is now below average on most of her subjects - she was above average before we moved here - I cry most days when I get home from work due to the stress it causes and the lack of support I have, i try to hide my tears from my daughter but I know she can hear me and she asks me if I'm ok.

I am so desperate to move back home to the uk where I have the support of my family and friends around me (I miss them so much).

I have a CV which I have updated, but I was told by a CV reviewer that it is out of date and needs a professional overview.
I know I don't stand a chance of getting back in the job market if my cv is not up to scratch.

Would any of you on here be able to help?

Don't take the reviewer's word for it. They may be looking for you to ask them to sort it out- for a fee.

Perhaps send it to appropriate recruitment agencies and ask what the likelihood of finding something suitable is at the moment. A

What is a CV reviewer? Is it someone who charges a fee to look over and update your CV? If so, I would take what they say with a large pinch of salt. Send your CV to some actual agencies and see what they say. If you are a good candidate, it will be in their interests to help you update it so they can get a fee for placing you in a role.
