I've seen a job advertised which is right up my street and I'm applying for it. The deadline is tomorrow so I have to email it really by the end of today but I'm stuck on the covering letter. I know I should be able to do this stuff but my brian is dead today, maybe as a result of night sleeping with sick ds tossing and turning. Anyway, my last serious job was in 1999, so how do I explain the intervening years in a covering letter? I started with "I've been at home bringing up children " and thought it sounded really mumsy and middle aged. How should I word it? Or should I call it a career break? Any other suggestions for things to put in the letter appreciated. I'm having a hard time writing it this morning. Thanks.
