Need help with cv please

[EyefullTower]

I will have to return to work as soon as, have not written a cv for over 15 years. How do I 'explain/justify' what I have been doing as a SAHM. Tia.

Bumping for you.

Thanks for the bump, maybe need to put this on chat.

Have you done any volunteer work?

What sector are you looking at working in? Public and voluntary sector tends to be more application based.

CV's play a very different role now than 15 years ago - they are now adapted to each specific job so you will need to highlight how you meet each of the essential skills/experience with your examples of work (Paid or otherwise) if that makes sense?

thank you for the reply, much appreciated, nothing happening with this on chat.

I have volunteered in local primary school, reading, craft, computerising library, this is all i have done since having children, feel very 'out of the market'.

Just write it up to when you went off then add your SAHM bit as a job. e.g

June 1996 - to present:

Career break to raise my family.

During this time I have also carried out the following voluntary positions......

Start your CV with a personal statement that says you are keen to re-enter paid employment. List your key skills e.g - I am an good team player with excellent communication skills. Tailor it to the job you are applying for.

I am more than happy for you to CAT me or email me on callmeovercautious at hot mail .com with it and I will give you an honest opinion. Just give me some detail about what job you are aiming for as well so I can give you some relevant feedback. Obviously leave out your name etc if you want

Thank you, have emailed.
