Hi all
I have been off for around 3 years since having my toe children quite close together. Now aged 2 and 3 I am trying to return to work but had not imagined how hard it would be.
I can't help feeling a bit of discrimination, just because I have been out of the workplace for a few years does not mean I have lost my brain and the ability to do my job.
I'm a qualified accountant and worked in the investment industry but have made numerous applications and heard absolutely nothing. It's very disheartening.
I am explaining in my cover letter that I have kept up to date with my skills by attending courses and working as a company secretary. I wonder if I'm being too honest.
Any advice would be much appreciated - if you have been in the same situation, if there are any tips on the cv or cover letter.
Thank you very much!
