    I joined a company in 2002 and in 2004 I decided to leave and go travelling for a year. When I came back in 2005, the same company offered me my job back, with an instant promotion.

    Should I detail this exactly, or should I just leave out my year travelling, or how should I detail it?
    Cheers

    i'd just include it in your employment part of your CV as "2002 - 2008: employed in XXX Ltd. Time includes a one-year career break from 2004-2005"
