Is it the done thing to put your mat leave on a CV? I've worked for a company since 2007 and am on my 2nd mat leave. The first I took a year for, the second I'm still on and will take 9 months.
The company were acquired during my first mat leave by a large corporation which dramatically changed the business. Future employers would be keen to know about my experiences in this large well known company.
Should I detail on my CV that I've not been doing that for 2 years, but rather 6 months in between mat leaves?
I want to be honest and happy to talk about my 'short stint' in this new rebranded company at interview stage but I don't want to shoot myself in the foot by volunteering that I've had almost 2 years out of the work place if it's perfectly reasonable to omit my mat leave.
And yes, I know employers 'can't discriminate' but lets' be honest - it doesn't sell someone!!
