Worried

Hey.

I couldn't think of a title for this so I do apologize.

I just have a question.

At the moment I am currently not working as I am looking after my dad full time. He is sick. I am not sure how long this will be for - the foreseeable future at least.

My question is, when I do return to full time work, will I have a problem. Up to now I have a very strong sales background but does that matter when I might not be returning to work for at least a year??

Given the circumstances I couldn't see any employer having a problem with such a gap in your CV.

I don't think it would be a problem. You've got a legitimate reason to be out of the workplace As long as you explain the gap on your CV, you should be fine. Don't forget either that there are loads of people your age who've taken a year out and are travelling the world or gone to Australia (yawn)

+1 to the above.

Also, do you have time to do a course or two, part time or evening? It always looks good and will confirm that you haven't dropped out of the marketplace.

Doing a part time course is a great idea, it will show you're keen to keep your skills sharp and haven't lost touch.

Hey,

Thanks for the replies.

I am currently looking into doing a course on child psychology and photography.
